First sentence: When, in May of 1942, Occupied Paris saw the publication of Le parti pris des choses (Taking the Side of Things), Francis Ponge, living in the free zone to the south with his wife and young daughter, had been completely out of touch with the manuscript since the outbreak of war more than two years earlier.
