US-LITERATURE-SCIOLINO
TO GO WITH AFP STORY by Virginie Montet
Author Elaine Sciolino attends a signing for her new book "La Seduction: How the French Play the Game of Life" in Washington, DC, on June 17, 2011. In her book, Sciolino shows the crucial role of seduction in how the French releate to one another in relationships, in politic and in the work place. The scandal around fallen IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn has proved an awakening for young women in France and has sparked a timely conversation about sexual harassment, a US author says. Elaine Sciolino, the long-time New York Times bureau chief in Paris, has just written a book exploring the issue of seduction in France and its importance in the corridors of power and the workplace. And she said maybe there was another chapter of her book "La Seduction" to write now, following the revelations of the sex scandal surrounding Strauss-Kahn. The former IMF chief and French politician has long had a reputation as a womanizer, but now stands accused of trying to rape a chambermaid in a New York hotel and sexually assaulting her last month. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and the case, which has rocked France, is making its way through the courts. But Sciolino has focused her book on investigating the more relaxed attitude in France towards seduction, which is a part of the daily play between men and women, and at what point it tips over into harassment.
