A Marquise of Our Time: Revised Edition

Merely enriching his palate with new tastes and sights-the usual expat fare-doesn't do it for Radu Moraru, a struggling American writer who freshly arrived in Paris in the early 2000s. He is convinced that somewhere in the multitude, a muse is standing by, ready to inspire him. During a social gathering, Radu stumbles upon Ida, a Russian beauty married to an older aristocrat. She is a painter and the author of an erotic novel. From the perusal of each other's works, literary passion blossoms as the two writers see an extension of their favorite characters in one another. But Ida's determination to turn their liaison into a work of art escalates into a dangerous game.

Based on a true story, A Marquise of Our Time is more than just a love story. Between its covers: the plight and delight of those flocking to Paris, a flirting guide with burlesque romps, a eulogy to literary freedom, a who's who of the moveable feast of the time, and also an indictment of the terrorist monster looming at the horizon.

Born in communist Romania, Mitrache immigrated to America as a young man. His plays have been performed in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, and the Avignon Festival. His first novel, La Traversée du Styx (Crossing the Danube), was published by Denoël, Paris.
