Paris bloggers, travel writers and authors, in the wake of the Paris Attacks, is it not time to revisit the tacit agreement not to say ALL we know about what's happening in France?
After the massacre at the Bataclan, the assault on restaurant goers and football fans, the beheading in the south, the executions of hostages at the Kosher grocery in Vincennes, the massacre at Charlie Hebdo in the heart of Paris, the targeting and torturing to death of a Jewish telephone saleman, the extermination of little Jewish schoolchildren in Toulouse, the killing of young solders and much more, isn't it time we shook off the shackles of self-imposed censorship and just told Paris lovers and visitors what we actually see, and know and feel?
About EVERYTHING.
How does it help our readers who dream of Paris to conceal from them problems we know about in France?
A while back there was a discussion about not wanting to ruin people's dreams of Paris by telling them too much.
After the grief, the devastation, the mourning, is it not time for a new honesty among Paris writers?
For the benefit of readers - and writers - alike?
