Paris Trance

Paris Trance

by Geoff Dyer (Author)

Synopsis

People talk about love at first sight, about the way that men and women fall for each other immediately, but there is also such a thing as friendship at first sight' In Paris, two couples form an intimacy that will change their lives for ever ...As they discover the clubs and cafes of the 11th arrondissement, the four become inseparable, united by deeply held convictions about dating strategies, tunnelling in P.O.W. films and, crucially, the role of the Styrofoam cup in American thrillers. Experiencing the exhilarating highs of Ecstasy and sex, they reach a peak of rapture - the come-down from which is unexpected and devastating.
