Yes, I LOVED it, with a few minor quibbles.Īnd today, if I read one more review or online discussion of the new movie of Les Mis which states that the story is about, or takes place in, or culminates in, “the French Revolution”-always meaning the 1789 one with the guillotines and everything, which Les Mis absolutely isn’t about and doesn’t take place in-I think maybe I’ll man the barricades myself and start ranting.Ĭrash course in French history forthwith for all new or potential Les Mis fans! So eventually I became a writer instead, and made a career, of sorts, of my French Revolutionary geekdom, and quietly waited and yearned for someone, anyone, to make a grand, epic, over-the-top film of that grand, epic, over-the-top stage musical.įinally they’ve done it, and (thank heavens) they got it right. I could have played Cosette, but that role was already cast. (I nearly went to the open casting call they held in New York for the part of Eponine, but no, I really didn’t have the right kind of voice. I became a passionate fan of the stage musical back when it opened on Broadway in 1987, when I still had good intentions of going into show business, while already being well on the way to the history nerd and French Revolution geek that I am today. I’ve always loved the story, since seeing some movie version or other as a child. I’ll be the first to admit that I am a shameless Les Mis fan. "Buford delivers a vivid and often laugh-out-loud account of the tribulations, humblings, and triumphs he and his family endured in the five years they lived in France. With his signature humor, sense of adventure, and masterly ability to immerse himself-and us-in his surroundings, Bill Buford has written what is sure to be the food-lover's book of the year. Studying at L'Institut Bocuse, cooking at the storied, Michelin-starred La Mère Brazier, enduring the endless hours and exacting rigeur of the kitchen, Buford becomes a man obsessed-with proving himself on the line, proving that he is worthy of the gastronomic secrets he's learning, proving that French cooking actually derives from (mon dieu!) the Italian. But when Buford (quickly) realizes that a stage in France is necessary, he goes-this time with his wife and three-year-old twin sons in tow-to Lyon, the gastronomic capital of France. Baffled by the language, but convinced that he can master the art of French cooking-or at least get to the bottom of why it is so revered- he begins what becomes a five-year odyssey by shadowing the esteemed French chef Michel Richard, in Washington, D.C. From the author of the best-selling, widely acclaimed Heat-a new hilariously self-deprecating, highly obsessive account of the author's adventures, this time, in the world of French haute cuisine.īill Buford turns his inimitable attention from Italian cuisine to the food of France. |
