Dreaming in French by Alice Kaplan
Jacqueline Bouvier was a twenty-year-old debutante from a wealthy East Coast family. Susan Sontag was twenty-four, a precocious Jewish intellectual from a family of modest means. Angela Davis, a French major at Brandeis from a prominent African American family in Birmingham, Alabama, found herself the only black student in her year abroad program.
"Alice Kaplan's superbly perceptive Dreaming in French makes a prism out of those visits; the white light of expectation goes in, and a myriad of astonishing colors comes out" (Laura Miller, Salon) "Alice Kaplan achieves the improbable in her new book Dreaming in French, which weaves together a fascinating triple-portrait of three different and unrelated characters." (San Francisco Chronicle)"
Alice Kaplan is the author of French Lessons: A Memoir; The Collaborator: The Trial and Execution of Robert Brasillach, which was a finalist for the National Book Award; and The Interpreter.
