Description
How To Be a Homeless Frenchman tells a tale of two countries, France and the US, bound together in weird and wonderful ways by war, music, and the love of good cheese. Based in part on a true story, How To Be a Homeless Frenchman traces a French teenager’s difficult childhood with a mentally ill mother, and follows him to the United States, where he becomes a homeless Frenchman singing the blues in the streets of Boston. “If your happiness is costly, then you paid too much,” his schizophrenic mother used to say. Surprising, lyrical, and laugh-out-loud funny, How To Be a Homeless Frenchman is an exploration of just how much happiness can be found in being a smelly Frenchman on a sunny day .
