The Long Road to Easy Street (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781554835928)

From smoky jazz clubs in Paris to television control rooms,

"The Long Road to Easy Street" is a captivating memoir

that spans decades of adventure, heartbreak, and artistic

discovery. Margaret Pacsu takes readers through her

extraordinary life in nineteen beautifully crafted movements,

chronicling love lost and found, encounters with icons like

Glenn Gould and Kurt Vonnegut, and moments of sheer

survival - from being tear-gassed in Paris to escaping an

assault in Warsaw. A storyteller at heart, Pacsu paints an

intimate portrait of resilience, creativity, and the pursuit

of meaning through music, journalism, and performance.

Brimming with humour and insight, this memoir is a must-read

for lovers of culture, history, and personal reinvention.
