Bérénice at the house of rescue

Hi everyone,

Here's the conclusion to last week's dramatic scene. Thanks yet again for the thoughtful comments; I really appreciate your engagement.

Bérénice, Part 6

Table of Contents

If anyone is really curious about medical treatment for the French poor at the time, George Orwell coincidentally wrote an essay about his experience being treated at l'Hôpital Cochin in 1929, the charity hospital that Jean-Claude mentioned last week. ("Bérénice" is set in 1931.) Please note, the essay is disturbing, but I thought that I would include it for those who are interested in the historical setting. I was amazed to find a contemporary essay by such a prominent English writer that was specifically about one of the two hospitals in Bérénice's quarter.

Also, please note that I may need to take a hiatus of 1-2 weeks from posting, as I'm dealing with some personal issues. Nothing serious, just tiring and time-consuming, as these things are!

Hi everyone,

And here's part 1 if you missed it. 

I hope you have a good time; let me know what you think!

New story: Bérénice

Hi everyone,  

I'm back with a new story, which is set in bohemian Paris in the 1930s - a.k.a., I am finally trying to fulfill my dream of being a knock-off Anaïs Nin. I've had a ton of fun writing a more uninhibited setting and cast of characters than I usually do, and hope you enjoy:

Bérénice, part 1 

This story will be about half a dozen chapters long... and after that, I will be disciplined and go back to working on sequels to Jazz Age. :) 

I hope that you all have good things to look forward to in 2022.

I'm still working on the ebook of "Lobster with a straw". If you would like to help with final edits (yaaay!), and if you have time to read through the manuscript (or just one chapter) within the next two months, please contact me at lovis.johnson123@gmail.com. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You honestly are the best 😃
