About Lucie
Veterinarian, which means I have held a rabbit through a seizure and also explained to a grown man that his goldfish was, in fact, already dead when he brought it in. Both required a certain diplomacy. I live in Strasbourg — close enough to Germany that I have opinions about bread, far enough from Paris that I don't feel the need to perform ambition. I read more than I sleep, which my body has started to resent. Currently rotating between a secondhand copy of Sebald's Austerlitz and whatever badly-reviewed thriller I downloaded at midnight and will never admit to finishing. I make a good baeckeoffe. I will not tell you what I put in it on the first date. I have a cat named after a philosopher who would have hated cats. She is indifferent to the irony. I am looking for someone who has a considered opinion about something — anything, really. A film, a wine, whether rivers have a sound that changes by season. I find certainty less interesting than curiosity. What are you reading?

"A woman just brought in a Labrador who ate an entire baguette — not a piece, the whole thing — and I'm not sure she was more distressed about the dog or the bread. What's the most expensive thing your appetite has ever cost you?"
