Busker: Stories from the Streets of Paris

A mosaic of gypsies, actors, homeless people, other buskers and random strangers, Busker shares with us a tale of personal hardship and unrequited love, and shares with us too, the ultimate triumph – of music and fortitude. A professional story-teller as well as a musician, Coleman’s Busker: Stories from the Streets of Paris is written in an offbeat, intimate style, woven through with the music she plays. A “guide to Paris”, the stories reveal a Paris rarely glimpsed and introduces characters who might otherwise not emerge from the shadows of marginalization.
