New Book: Deer Hunting in Paris
It's not often we encounter a writer with a voice as fresh, funny, and poignant as Paula Young Lee's. Her book, Deer Hunting in Paris: A Memoir of God, Guns, and Game Meat, provides a needed perspective on the culture of hunting in our increasingly cosmopolitan world. From Paris, France, to Paris, Maine, this Korean-American preacher's daughter navigates the perils of an unlikely romantic relationship, skewering human foibles while celebrating hunting, DIY food culture, and what it means to be a carnivore. Along the way, the former vegetarian finds lessons about life, love, and loss in a hacksaw and a haunch of venison.
Praise for Deer Hunting in Paris
"A truly extraordinary life and a truly unique voice. More than any other book I know, Deer Hunting in Paris explores the tendons and gristle of life."
—Michael Chwe, author of Jane Austen, Game Theorist
"From the rugged backwoods of Maine to the streets of Paris, Paula Young Lee takes you on an unexpected journey. Through deep insight, arresting imagery, and deft turns of phrase, she reveals the meat, blood, and bone of our hungers, dark and true."
— Tara Austen Weaver, author of The Butcher & The Vegetarian
"Not many narratives have you laughing, wincing, and weeping at the same time. Deer Hunting in Paris is pure prose genius. Smart and smart-alecky, a delight on every page."
— Gary Buslik, author of A Rotten Person Travels the Caribbean and Akhmed and the Atomic Matzo Balls
"Paula Young Lee is M.F.K. Fisher with a gun, Julia Child prepping roadkill."
— Marcy Gordon, editor, Leave the Lipstick,Take the Iguana
"Paula Young Lee takes us on an intriguing whirl through a Paris most of us have never seen—a Paris of Republicans, rifle-toting New Englanders, and riotous tales of hunting. Your stomach will ache from laughter and hunger at the same time."
— David Farley, author of An Irreverent Curiosity
