Summary "Zut and Other Parisians" by Guy Wetmore Carryl is a collection of humorous stories written in the early 20th century. The tales explore the quirks and eccentricities of Parisians, centering around memorable characters like the angora cat named Zut and its owners, the Caille and Sergeot families, who are embroiled in a rivalry fueled by their respective businesses. The book invites readers to experience the whimsical charm and comedic interactions that characterize life in Paris, filled with vibrancy and delightful satire. The opening of "Zut and Other Parisians" introduces readers to the charming yet tumultuous lives of Jean-Baptiste Caille, a grocer, and Hippolyte Sergeot, a hairdresser, whose families are neighbors on the bustling avenue de la Grande Armée. The crux of their conflict stems from the success of Hippolyte's newly opened salon, which incites jealousy in Alexandrine Caille, Jean-Baptiste’s wife. Their rivalry is humorously intensified by the indifference of Zut, a plump white angora cat, who becomes the unsuspecting object of desire between the two households. As the scene unfolds, themes of rivalry, envy, and the comedic absurdity of everyday life in Paris are established, setting the tone for the rest of the collection.
