Ben Fountain, Author of End of Half to the Soldier Billy Lynn, Gives the French a Tour of Dallas

By Bradford Pearson |

You’ll excuse my use of Google Translate in the above headline, but I think it’s a pretty accurate translation of Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk. Anyway. Le Monde asked Ben Fountain to give those Frenchies a tour of his Dallas, on the occasion of Billy Lynn‘s publication in France. He took them to the Old Monk, the Kessler, and Fair Park, among other places. D Magazine world headquarters makes an appearance in slide eight, which I’m positive is because of this.
