Personals | "Two Strip Clubs, Paris and New Hampshire"

from The Paris Review · host The Paris Review

Lisa Carver reads an essay about visiting two strip clubs with her French husband: first the Moulin Rouge, then a dive bar in Bedford, New Hampshire. At the Moulin Rouge, she has a revelation: “Even though the women had naked boobies, they still looked like angels. I think angels do have naked boobies, now that I’ve seen this show.”This episode was produced by John DeLore and Helena de Groot, and was mixed by Helena de Groot. Our theme song for this series is “Bryant Park and Ride,” composed and performed by David Cieri.Lisa Carver’s essay can be found online at:https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2023/09/13/two-strip-clubs-paris-and-new-hampshire/Subscribe to The Paris Review at www.theparisreview.org/subscribe.
