About this Event

Imagine an event at night, with low lights, jazz playing in the background, and a martini. This book is about as close as it gets.
Instead of the nightclub, join us in the bookstore on Sunday, February 22nd @ 3pm to hear about Julie Cascioppo's life, locally and abroad.
We'll have to recall the ambiance, as Julie regales us with the captivating adventures in her memoir.

I Love Being Abroad: Memoirs of an American Chanteuse in Paris

Julie Cascioppo's new memoir about her climb to fame as a jazz singer and cabaret performer in Paris in the 1980s follows earlier books about American girls abroad, like Elaine Dundy's The Dud Avocado, Ruth Reichl's The Paris Novel and Alice Kaplan's French Lessons. Only Julie's book is not made-up; it's all true!

From the raucous crowds of Seattle's Pike Place Market to the smoky nightclubs of Paris, Julie Cascioppo's journey is one of extraordinary transformation. Beginning with a unique contradiction: the vegetarian daughter of a Sicilian butcher.


About the Author:

Julie Cascioppo was born in Seattle and went to Ballard High School. Julie now lives in Seattle's Wallingford neighborhood and welcomes questions and comments about her life in Paris. She is a vocal consultant for singers and continues to bring her special sizzle to Seattle hotspots.
