A #1 bestseller in France, this is a nostalgic portrait of a French scholarship student's discovery of America during the academic year of 1954-1955. I wanted to fit in. I wanted to be American, like any ordinary student, because I figured that was my only chance to survive the immense loneliness looming ahead of me. I was elated to be there, in that remote Virginia alley, on that college campus. I was elated because back there, far away in France, my brothers would never experience this. And the school friends I left behind--they too were missing out on this tremendous adventure. Soon the young freshman becomes seduced by American culture and the popular icons of the mid-fifties: Jack Kerouac, Elvis Presley, James Dean, Fats Domino . . . a green Buick convertible, drive-in movies, and pretty Grace Kelly lookalikes in tight cardigans. Praise for The Foreign Student "One of those books that is beyond criticism . . . a vivid portrait of life, American style."--L'Express "A love affair with America . . . told with precision, clarity, and warmth."--France-Soir "A Sentimental Education of the American South."--Lu "A grand risk, successfully realized . . . F. Scott Fitzgerald, French style. A splendid novel about a fragile, fugitive era."--Magazine Litteraire "The freshness of a first novel combined with nuanced reporting."--Le MondeBinding Type: Paperback

Great drawer organizers
Size: 21 Pack, Color: Clear, Size: 21 Pack, Color: Clear
Comes with grip pads for each tray. No sliding around in the drawer. Perfect sizes and ways to use. Filled 4 kitchen drawers and still extra pieces for a 5th drawer. Great for organizing craft room or anywhere. Each tray came separately bagged so no scratches. For clear plastic, seems very durable. Would buy again.

Just what I needed for sorting my LEGO builds!
Size: 6 Pack, Color: Clear
The different sizes are perfect for sorting assorted LEGO pieces! Easy to store and stackable when not in use. Putting on the little pads on the bottom can be a bit tricky, so take your time with it! These thick plastic trays are an AWESOME value for what you get! You get (2) sets for double the storage capacity!
Very durable and crystal clear appearance! The little pads on the bottom keep these little trays in place so they don't slide around. Very satisfied with this purchase!
