Eberstadt, Fernanda Little Money Street New York Vintage 2006 0307279421 / 9780307279422 Pictorial Soft Cover Fine 12mo - over 6¾ 242 pp. With an introduction by John Updike. An interesting book from the novelist Eberstadt. It tells of her move to Perpignan in 1998 and her involvement with Gypsy life, especially the music, centered on her friendship with a specific family. After moving outside Perpignan--home to the largest Gypsy population in Western Europe--Eberstadt, a fan of Gypsy music, went in search of members of the renowned Gypsy band Tekameli. After 18 months she finally managed to receive an invitation to visit with Tekameli's lead singer, Moise Espinas, inside his home. Personally introduced to the elusive Gypsy culture, she does readers a tremendous service by providing them with an intimate glimpse into the vibrant social life, customs, and music of one of the world's most reviled, misunderstood, and richly textured societies.
