We sit down down with author Michelle Fogle to discuss her latest book, “Paris Bohemian.” This novel is a fictionalized historical account of the life of the renowned and groundbreaking composer Erik Satie. The book delves into Satie’s life and varied career, from his days as a rebellious composer to his successes in the cabarets of Montmartre, to the influence of occult thought on his musics and philosophy, and his influential relationships like that with Claude Debussy.
“Paris Bohemian” aims to provide readers with an intimate portrayal of Satie’s life, capturing the essence of his eccentric personality and his involvement in the esoteric movements of his time.
Fogle’s journey to writing this novel began with a personal connection to Satie’s music, which she first encountered during the 1960s. Her fascination led her to extensive research, including travels to Paris and Normandy to trace Satie’s footsteps. The author also shared insights into Satie’s personal life, including his tragic losses and complex relationships, which profoundly influenced his music and personality. The novel not only highlights Satie’s artistic legacy but also sheds light on the human experiences that shaped his extraordinary life.
