All stories translated from French by David and Nicole Ball. FROM THE INTRODUCTION BY CHARLES-HENRI LAVIELLE: 'If these stories are rooted in cities-Toulouse in this case-even reduced to their specificity, they also speak to our common humanity. 'Nothing human is foreign to me,' French anthropologist Alban Bensa said repeatedly. And that's probably enough of a reason to read this collection, even if you've never set foot here . . . Bensa also advocated for the necessity of always returning to the terrain to observe and listen. Describing before writing is the only way to give a credible account . . . That ability to observe is what guided my choice of authors for this collection. I tried to bring together a variety of people, of various ages, backgrounds, genders, with different life experiences, who all have a strong connection to Toulouse and to writing-in an attempt to attach the atmosphere of the city to your future steps. And if you never come, to make you feel what you would have found here.'","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58055088636286,"sku":"NW9781636141978","price":13.53,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781636141978.jpg?v=1789738061","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/toulouse-noir","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
