«Liaisons étrangères» is the novel by Alison Lurie, published by Rivages poche in paperback (425 pages, in French).
Two American professors, Vinnie Miner and Fred Turner, travel to London for an academic stay. The real city falls short of their dreams: weather, loneliness and misunderstandings mark their days. Unexpected encounters will call their expectations into question. An ironic satire of cultural clashes.
The French edition, translated from English by Sophie Mayoux, belongs to the Bibliothèque étrangère collection from Rivages poche. The original title is Foreign Affairs. The work was awarded the Pulitzer Prize.
For readers of literary fiction who enjoy humor and the observation of cultural differences and the academic world.
Alison Stewart Lurie was an American novelist and academic. She won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her 1984 novel Foreign Affairs. Although better known as a novelist, she wrote many non-fiction books and articles, particularly on children's literature and the semiotics of dress.
