Dear Professor Barzun

“I just was alerted to this thread now. I can’t speak to how Barzun is correctly pronounced in French, but I can say that the way we all say our last name in English (and I think this includes my grandfather) is simply “BAHR-zuhn,” which sounds almost exactly like the first two syllables in the statement “Bars in France are full of smoke.” Not sure if that helps, though, as I think you all are debating the French pronunciation.”

“Detection goes with the belief in greatness, intelligence and integrity, with the recognition of law, and the directed curiosity of science.”
Jacques Barzun, in Michael Gilbert, ed., Crime in Good Company, quoted in Elizabeth Foxwell, Fostering Mystery History: A Manifesto.
