From her timeless \u003ci\u003eA Considerable Town\u003c\/i\u003e, published as part of \u003ci\u003eTwo Towns in Provence\u003c\/i\u003e, here is her affectionate introduction to the old streets and bustling waterfront of France’s second city.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “I first spent a night there in late 1929, and since then I have returned even oftener than seems reasonable,” says Fisher of her long-term love affair with the city by the sea. In these recollections she paints a vibrant, sun-drenched portrait of the distinctive character of Marseille and its residents, the \u003ci\u003einsolite\u003c\/i\u003e or “indefinable” identity that makes it unlike anywhere else.
