Written between 2019 and 2024, "Portraits from Paris" is a novelized memoir of a boarding-school childhood in 1970s England, interspersed with journalistic sketches of cities as diverse as Montevideo, Kolkata, and Moscow that draw from the travel-studded years between school and the author’s move to France. Along the way, Gavin Cologne-Brookes reflects on historic events ranging from Brexit, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine to the death of the queen, the restoration of Notre-Dame, and the Paris Olympics. Binding the personal and political together is an oil painter’s rendering of his creative evolution, building with careful brushwork upon the tints of the craft’s discovery in adolescence to arrive at the nuanced hues of artistic maturity.
