Paris Without Her: A Memoir by Gregory Curtis EPUB
In this moving, tender memoir of losing a beloved spouse, the longtime editor of Texas Monthly, newly widowed, returns alone to a city whose enchantment he's only ever shared with his wife, in search of solace, memories, and the courage to find a way forward.
At the age of 66, after 35 years of marriage, Gregory Curtis finds himself a widower. Tracy - with whom he fell in love the first time he saw her - has succumbed to a long battle with cancer. Paralyzed by grief, agonized by social interaction, Curtis turns to watching magic lessons on DVD - "a pathetic, almost comical substitute" for his evenings with Tracy.
To break the spell, he returns to the place he had the "best and happiest times" of his life. As he navigates the storied city and contemplates his new future, Curtis relives his days in Paris with Tracy, piecing together the portrait of a woman, a marriage, parenthood, and his life's great love through the memories of six unforgettable trips to the City of Lights.
Alone in Paris, Curtis becomes a tireless wanderer, exploring the city's grand boulevards and forgotten corners as he confronts the bewildering emotional state that ensues after losing a life partner. Paris Without Her is a work of tremendous courage and insight - an ode to the lovely woman who was his wife, to a magnificent city, and to the self we might invent, and reinvent, there.
