I LOVE BEING ABROAD: MEMOIRS OF AN AMERICAN CHANTEUSE IN PARIS
By Julie Cascioppo
Julie Cascioppo's new memoir about her climb to fame as a jazz singer and cabaret performer in Paris in the 1980s follows earlier books about American girls abroad, like Elaine Dundy's The Dud Avocado, Ruth Reichl's The Paris Novel and Alice Kaplan's French Lessons. Only Julie's book is not made-up; it's all true!
From the raucous crowds of Seattle's Pike Place Market to the smoky nightclubs of Paris, Julie Cascioppo's journey is one of extraordinary transformation. Beginning with a unique contradiction: the vegetarian daughter of a Sicilian butcher.
Her memoir invites you into her world, where a one-month trip to Paris blossoms into a captivating, decade-long adventure. Amid champagne-fueled nights, colorful international audiences, and the vibrant backdrop of 1980s Paris, Julie discovers not only that the French embraced her persona but also that life abroad offers an intoxicating allure.
"I Love Being Abroad" will resonate with anyone who has ever felt the magnetic pull of a foreign city or dreamed of reinvention in an unfamiliar landscape. Cascioppo's account reminds us that sometimes the most transformative adventures begin with a simple decision to say yes when opportunity knocks.
Readers will laugh at her brash encounters with a slew of celebrities, all of whom she tried to befriend in hopes of them helping her career. Cary Grant, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Brian Eno and Tommy Tune are joined by a raft of mysterious French, Russian, Iranian, Moroccan and Italian playboys, all eager to get to know her better. Like them, readers will fall in love with the girl from Seattle who made it big in Paris.
Julie lives in Seattle's Wallingford neighborhood and welcomes questions and comments about her life in Paris. She is a vocal consultant for singers and continues to bring her special sizzle to Seattle hotspots.
