SUMMARY:Eric Idle\, Idle in Provence\, in conversation with Dave Eggers
DESCRIPTION:In 1971\, at the beginning of Monty Python mania\, Eric Idle 
 bought a crumbling ruin in the hills of Provence. With no electricity\, 
 no water\, no road\, and no plan\, he set out to transform the neglected
  stone shack into what he lovingly calls a shackeau. "Idle in Provence" 
 is the story of the transformation of both the place and the man. Agains
 t the sun-drenched backdrop of southern France\, Idle penned iconic song
 s and scripts\, hosted a revolving door of eccentric and brilliant frien
 ds—George Harrison\, Robin Williams\, Paul Simon\, and others—and found 
 a rare kind of peace far from the madness of showbiz. Equal parts memoir
 \, travelogue\, and comedy masterclass\, the book is filled with laugh-o
 ut-loud moments\, tender reflections\, and the kind of sharp\, self-depr
 ecating wit only Idle can deliver. As he reflects on love\, loss\, frien
 dship\, and joy\, Idle paints a vivid portrait of a place that became mo
 re than a home—it became a sanctuary. The story spans decades. It’s a lo
 ve letter to France\, to old friends\, and to the wild\, unpredictable j
 ourney of being alive. Along the way\, readers are treated to behind-the
 -scenes glimpses of Eric Idle’s creative output\, candid memories of fam
 e\, and thoughtful meditations on life\, purpose\, and the legacy of lau
 ghter. Charming\, cheeky\, and unexpectedly moving\, Idle in Provence is
  Eric Idle at his best—hilarious\, candid\, and unforgettable. Eric Idle
  is a comedian\, actor\, author\, and singer-songwriter who found immedi
 ate fame on television with the sketch-comedy show Monty Python’s Flying
  Circus. Following its success\, the group began making films that inclu
 de "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"\, "Monty Python’s Life of Brian\," 
 and "Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life." Eric wrote\, directed\, and cr
 eated "The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash\," the world’s first-ever mockum
 entary\, as well as the Tony Award–winning musical "Spamalot." His memoi
 r "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" was a New York Times bestsell
 er. Dave Eggers is the author of many books\, among them "The Circle\," 
 "The Monk of Mokha\," "A Hologram for the King\," "What Is the What\," a
 nd "The Museum of Rain." He is the cofounder of 826 National\, a network
  of youth writing centers\, and Art + Water\, a nonprofit visual arts hu
 b on San Francisco’s waterfront. A member of the American Academy of Art
 s and Letters\, Eggers has been a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize\, the 
 National Book Award\, and the National Book Critics Circle Award\, and i
 s the recipient of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize for "Zeitoun" and the
  Newbery Medal for "The Eyes & the Impossible." Eric Idle - photo courte
