How to Be a Homeless Frenchman
HOW TO BE A HOMELESS FRENCHMAN tells a tale of two countries, France and the US, bound together in weird and wonderful ways by war, music, and the love of good cheese. In this fable of self-discovery, a mixed-race French teenager named Marlon leaves home to study the Blues in Boston. But what starts out as an uneventful summer turns into a series of increasingly odd and funny adventures that finds him squatting in a movie theater, busking in the subway, and creating marshmallow fluff confections for his friends in the homeless shelter. “If your happiness is costly, then you paid too much,” his schizophrenic mother used to say. Surprising, lyrical, and laugh-out-loud funny, HOW TO BE A HOMELESS FRENCHMAN is an exploration of just how much happiness can be found in being a smelly Frenchman on a sunny day.
