A Satchel Guide to Cap Ferret
"Do remember that the traveler will often find an exquisite delight in what the guidebooks pass by with indifference. Do remember that the October weekend the traveler’s life is supposed to change forever may not, in fact, be the weekend life changes forever."
A Satchel Guide to Cap Ferret is a short story about a weekend in Cap Ferret, near Arcachon, in southwest France. Inspired by turn-of-the-century travel guides, it's an exploration of what it feels like to look at a relationship from far, far away, with the gaze of a visitor.
