![]() ![]() ![]() Rachel León: On a non-book related note, welcome to Chicago! How are you enjoying the city and its literary community?Ĭamille Bordas: Thanks! I love Chicago, but I don’t know that I can really speak of its literary community, because I’m a bit of a hermit and don’t party much…I do hang out with awesome writers, but they’re the ones who come over to our apartment and can stand Adam Levin‘s smoking indoors. I recently chatted with her via email about Chicago, anthropology, and her writing process. Though Bordas grew up speaking French, as she says in the acknowledgements, English has become her “second first language.” She is married to the writer Adam Levin, author of The Instructions, and now lives in Chicago. ![]() The novel manages to be both comedic and elegiac, a thoughtful examination of youth, adulthood, and grief.Ĭamille Bordas is the author of the novels Les treize desserts and Partie commune, both in French. ![]() His siblings’s alternate legends of the couch stain opens Camille Bordas’s new novel, How To Behave In a Crowd, about a gifted family dealing with grief. Isidore Mazal is an eleven-year-old boy in a small French village, and the couch in his home has a mysterious stain. ![]()
