Cr�ticas:

"Impressive . . . Hypnotic . . . Hard to put the book down . . . Sneed is such a gifted writer." --Curtis Sittenfeld, "New York Times Book Review "(cover), on "Little Known Facts
""I grabbed . . . "Little Known Facts "on my way out the door this weekend and ate it up. It's a great, canny read: wry, observant, inventive in style, rich in character. Christine Sneed knows her Hollywood, but more than that, she knows her people." --Jess Walter, author of "Beautiful Ruins," on "Little Known Facts"

"An entertaining, formally inventive read . . . the world that Sneed creates in "Little Known Facts"--a blend of truth and fiction that weaves real life actors and directors into Renn's everyday life--makes for a clever take and a fun read." "--""Los Angeles Times "on "Little Known Facts"

"A wry, sexy, clever little gem of a novel, Christine Sneed's latest lights up the streets of Paris with elegance and wit." --Jami Attenberg, "New York Times "bestselling author of "The Middlesteins"

"A novel about art and artifice that is heartfelt, a novel about love and deception that is clear-eyed, witty and wise. Sneed entertains and tantalizes, in the most Parisian manner." --Amy Bloom, author of "Lucky Us"

"Art, desire, romance, and Paris itself are brought so beautifully together in Christine Sneed's new novel. She writes with contagious affection for her characters, and in the delightful and delighted hours I spent inside "Paris, He Said "I had that rare feeling we can get from a novel--I was happy to be alive." --Scott Spencer, National Book Award finalist and bestselling author of "Endless Love "

"If Henry James were still with us, he'd not only approve of "Paris, He Said," he could have written it himself, though without his serpentine syntax. It's a delicious treat, studded with wise and beautifully observed detail, that places side by side those perpetually fascinating antagonists, the eager, casual American and the meticulous, pleasure-driven French. Christine Sneed knows everyone's intimate secrets and her book is lively, amusing, and, ultimately, kind to pretty much all of them." --Rosellen Brown, "New York Times "bestselling author of "Before and After"

"What distinguishes "Little Known Facts "is the universality. Sneed possesses uncanny insight into the power dynamics in families, friendships and workplaces. Exquisitely structured, with its spotlight segueing among characters, bits of tabloids, journal entries and overheard conversations, "Little Known Facts "is one of those rare novels that is both profound and fun." "--""Chicago Tribune "

Sneed is very good at elucidating the doubts that plague many women when it comes to their careers . . .

Sneed . . . writes slyly funny, masterful comedies of manners utterly unlike anything else in American letters.--Joanna Rakoff "The Independent "

Rese�a del editor:

Jayne Marks is questioning the choices she has made in the years since college and is struggling to pay her bills in Manhattan when she is given the opportunity to move to Paris with her wealthy lover and benefactor, Laurent Moller, who owns and operates two art galleries, one in New York, the other in Paris. He offers her the time and financial support she needs to begin her career as a painter and also challenges her to see who and what she will become if she meets her artistic potential.

Laurent, however, seems to have other women in his life and Jayne, too, has an ex-boyfriend, much closer to her own age, whom she still has feelings for. Bringing Paris gloriously to life, Paris, He Said is a novel about desire, beauty, and its appreciation, and of finding yourself presented with the things you believe you've always wanted, only to wonder where true happiness lies.
