Paul Morand's (1888-1976) slim but enchanting collection of three short stories (Clarissa, Delphine, and Aurora) is coming out in a new translation (by Euan Cameron) from the always reliable Pushkin Press under the title Tender Shoots:
[These] three alluring and independent young women—Clarissa, Delphine, and Aurora—are the titles of three short stories that Paul Morand composed during the First World War and set in London, a city of constant fascination to him. Stylish, poetic, and highly original, these urbane and witty stories boast a foreword by Marcel Proust.
At 95 pages, we're looking at a VERY slim collection, indeed.
