Arrondissements is a collection of non-fiction essays, most of which are linked not only thematically (music & literature) but also in structure, showing how one generation's young lions becomes the proceeding's establishment whose accomplishments the next generation feels compelled to break free from or build off of.Erudite,yet maintaining a conversational tone, many of the essays seek to separate various historical myths which have long been perpetuated as historical fact from the actual truth. Named after the different divisions of Paris which also serves in many of the pieces as a sort of backdrop, each essay is like a walk through a city of thought where little side streets are often taken while never losing sight of the main path.Like a good conversation, all the essays wish to inform, while never abandoning the desire to entertain as well.
