Louis Vuitton to Release Trunk Inspired Book.
LITERARY BAGGAGE: Louis Vuitton’s grandson Gaston-Louis
Vuitton was a trunk aficionado, as his collection of photographs and
newspaper cuttings attest. It was these that 11 French writers were
granted access to for inspiration.
The resulting short stories — by
Éliette Abécassis, Fabienne Berthaud, Marie Darrieussecq, Virginie
Despentes, Nicolas d’Estienne d’Orves, Patrick Eudeline, David
Foenkinos, Philippe Jaenada, Yann Moix, Véronique Ovaldé and Bruno de
Stabenrath — have a narration that begins literally inside a trunk.
Aptly, the pieces have been assembled in an anthology entitled “The
Trunk.”
Due out in March, the 356-page book is being published by Les Editions Louis Vuitton and Les Editions Gallimard.
A limited-edition, leather-bound version will be available — in
French, English and Japanese — in Louis Vuitton stores and through
louisvuitton.com for 50 euros, or $66 at current exchange. The bookstore
edition will be in French.
