Roads and destinies, tragicomedies and dramas, lives lived on display and a quiet longing for truth. Forced and chosen migrations, a future put on hold — everything can become literature, if you let it.
Once we lose our home, we keep searching for it — peering nostalgically into the lit windows of others, as if the answer might be there. But is it even possible to find a home? Or is it something we must build ourselves — trying to hold the fragile balance between who we used to be, who we are now, and who we truly are?We risk remaining at the edge of a rope torn apart, pulled in different directions — or continuing to split ourselves, living in two realities at once, never fully belonging to either.
Tender, hopeful, and at times darkly ironic, To See Paris is a collection of deeply felt stories about the search for self and for home in a changed world — about the constant attempt to balance what has been with what may never come.
It invites you to see more clearly those who are near and those who are far — and reminds you to live now. Because now is all we have.
