Sharp, funny and unflinchingly honest, Jayne Tuttle’s memoir lifts you off the page and into a Paris far beyond the postcards. This new edition of Paris or Die is a headlong plunge into not just life in Paris, but life itself.Aspiring actor Jayne lives in Melbourne, where she dreams of a creative life. But after her mother dies unexpectedly, Jayne loses her bearings. Untethered, heartsick, she is soon on a plane to Paris with no return ticket. The city, it seems, has its own plans for her. She finds herself in a vibrant and dizzying neighbourhood, living in a former monastery, studying at a famous theatre school, falling in love with a Frenchman too beautiful to be real. She will forget her past and disappear into the culture if it kills her. And one strange night, it nearly does. Raw, real and evocative, Paris or Die is an unforgettable picture of love, grief and adventure.

I am the worst person in the world.Bad mother. Bad lover. Bad worker. Bad woman. Bad friend ... An exploration of motherdom and ego, culture and art, love and pain, The Sea in the Metro tells the story of a new mother in Paris trying to make it work – and failing. What happens when the control you thought you had over your life is usurped by your nature? Jayne was raised to believe she could have everything. Child, career, relationship, even a life in Paris. So why does she feel like a monster? As her ego wars with her natural instincts, Jayne searches for answers in friendship, the city, memories of her late mother, art, writing and New Wave films … and finds only more questions. There are parts of herself that parenthood won’t let her avoid.Unsentimental and untamed, The Sea in the Metro is an unflinching excavation of modern womanhood that marks the thrilling return of an incredible talent in Australian literature. --Praise for Paris or Die and My Sweet Guillotine:‘Writing that is joltingly alive, beautiful and terrifying’ – Helen Garner ‘My new favourite writer’ – Lauren Elkin ‘The love child of Helen Garner and David Sedaris’ – Linda Jaivin ‘Jayne Tuttle’s writing is a delicious delight’ – Christos Tsiolkas ‘Emerging as one of our finest’ – The Australian ‘All nerve endings and noticing’ – Claire Thomas ‘A writer who has perfected her craft’ – Ceridwen Dovey'Terrific, crisp writing … like a latter-day Bonjour Tristesse' – The Age
