Mostly she is speaking here of her more famous friend and colleague, the French actress Giselle Fayolle, in whose shadow she has spent her career. My life was a near miss, she adds, before explaining that she enunciated well because I loved to say the words. A very short novel with the power and resonance of a much longer one, Anne-Marie la Beaut  is a profound and moving act of remembrance, a clear-eyed assessment of the hard-edged nature of fame, a meditation on aging--and a wonderfully observant and comic exploration of human foibles. In short, another thought-provoking master class in how we perform life by the peerless Yasmina Reza.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seven Stories Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781644210512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64","brand":"Yasmina Reza","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39638624895157,"sku":"9781644210512","price":11.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_19ff9627-1159-4425-a4da-0e6d4cdcb496.jpg?v=1617682845","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/anne-marie-the-beauty-9781644210512","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
