Ep 15: A Moment with... Charles Simic: With Gene Tierney in Paris

Welcome to Forked Tongues: Conversations with Foreigners Living in France! Episode 15 of the journey but, once again, not your usual FT episode... This episode, dedicated to two of my favourite things: Paris and the movies, is a small FT homage to poet, Charles Simic, who died in January. In it, I read his piece: With Gene Tierney in Paris, taken from a book of film appreciation called O.K. You Mugs: Writers on Actors. With humour and poetry Simic describes his experience of being a young immigrant in Paris in the 1950s and falling in (complicated) love with Hollywood starlet, Gene Tierney. I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for listening, Derek Rawson
