The Foreign Student
A #1 bestseller in France, this is a nostalgic portrait of a French scholarship student's discovery of America during the academic year of 1954-1955.I wanted to fit in. I was elated to be there, in that remote Virginia alley, on that college campus. I wanted to be American, like any ordinary student, because I figured that was my only chance to survive the immense loneliness looming ahead of me.
And the school friends I left behind--they too were missing out on this tremendous adventure.Soon the young freshman becomes seduced by American culture and the popular icons of the mid-fifties: Jack Kerouac, Elvis Presley, James Dean, Fats Domino . . . I was elated because back there, far away in France, my brothers would never experience this. a green Buick convertible, drive-in movies, and pretty Grace Kelly lookalikes in tight cardigans.Praise for The
