Say Chic Summary

Say Chic: A Collection of French Words We Can't Live Without by Francoise Blanchard

Ever wonder why French words have become so common in English as to be cliches? Or why your witty repartee wouldn't be quite so witty without them? In Say Chic Francoise Blanchard and Jeremy Leven collect more than seventy familiar French words and phrases that have become a permanent part of the English vocabulary. The authors offer full-bodied descriptions of word origins and each word's adoption into English usage that include history, pop culture, etymology and pithy observations.

Compact in size and featuring twenty playful illustrations by Paulina Reyes as well as that elusive je ne sais quoi, SayChic is a mine of intriguing words and the stories behind them, which will find its raison d'etre on the bookshelf of any enlightened reader.

About Francoise Blanchard

Fracoise Blanchard is a well-traveled French woman who spent several years in the United States, where she met coauthor Jeremy Leven. After three years of collaboration, primarily on film projects, she returned home to Paris to write. She now lives in Seoul, Korea, with husband, Jung-Soon Choi.

Jeremy Levin veered from a career in the field of neuro-psychiatry to become a novelist, a screenwriter (Creator, Playing forKeeps, The Legend of Bagger Vance, Crazy as Hell, Alex & Emma, The Notebook), and a director (Don Juan DeMarco, which he also wrote). He divides his time between Paris, Connecticut, and New York City.
