Madame Depardieu and the Beautiful Strangers
ANTONIA QUIRKE
For Ilana Bryant, best girl in New Jersey
‘You live in a dream and the dream is a cage,’
Said the girl, ‘And the bars nestle closer with age
Your shadow burned white by invisible fire
You will learn how it rankles to die of desire
As you long for the beautiful stranger,’
Said the vanishing beautiful stranger
PETE ATKIN AND CLIVE JAMES,
Beware of the Beautiful Stranger
‘You have to have a little faith in people’
MARIEL HEMINGWAY, Manhattan
