“The bindweed plants in rue Saint-Charles know their music. They have the ancient voice of vegetation that is rich in tradition….” Pierre Mac Orlan (1925) translated by @shauntranslates and featured in our new book Boutiques about Paris shopfronts and the artist #lucienboucher

@silverlocket5 Wonderful post!
When you open a book what’s the first thing you do? Inhale its intoxicating inky aroma, caress the toothiness and texture of the paper, admire the typography and design? If so you might enjoy this…

Take it from Mark E. Smith: “Lindsay Anderson was fuckin’ acidic! The best. If you want to know what Britain was like in 1973, watch O Lucky Man” Screening @BFI in May https://t.co/raOyBqiK7q

“Imagine if the literary greats of 1920s Paris were not in fact writers but shopkeepers…”
