Flâneuse

A Flâneuse is a woman keenly attuned to the creative potential of the city, and the liberating possibilities of a good walk. In this gloriously provocative and celebratory book, Lauren Elkin defines her as a determined resourceful woman keenly attuned to the creative potential of the city, and the liberating possibilities of a good walk. Part cultural meander, part memoir, Flâneuse traces the relationship between the city and creativity through a journey that begins in New York and moves us to Paris, via Venice, Tokyo, and London, exploring along the way the paths taken by the flânes who have lived and walked in those cities.
