No point hiding behind history or war memories. What is a threat to Paris, to its noir dimension even, is potential \"museumification,\" the possibility of the city turning into a big theme park. In Paris, after all, everything is still there. All you have to do is look around with eyes wide open . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond the lights, beyond the cafés and bars, Paris is sometimes like a grave. It's a city you run away from, or at least dream of running away from. But on every street corner, the past jumps at your throat like a grimacing hyena . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou don't inhabit your city, you dream it. All I can do now is invite you to enter the dream.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Akashic Books, Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45532319744151,"sku":"9781933354637","price":1760.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781933354637.webp?v=1767463520","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/paris-noir-9781933354637","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
