A review by pattydsf
Gigi; and The Cat by Colette, Colette
3.0
I think that I have read Colette before, but I am not sure what of hers I have read. These stories, or novellas were fascinating, although I would be curious why these two together. Why put a story of a seduction, which is how I see Gigi with a story of an un-seduction - The Cat? Maybe I have answered my own question.
The first story seems to be less modern to me than the second, although they were published in the opposite order. Both of them made me think about the nature of love - why do we love what we do and how do we decide what we love.
I can't decide if it is worth watching any of the film versions of Gigi - I doubt they have the same resounence and feel of the story.
I enjoyed both stories and plan to read more Colette in the near future.
