Beautifully written and refreshingly original . . . makes us see [Paris] in a different light.San Francisco Chronicle Book ReviewSwapping his native San Francisco for the City of Light, travel writer David Downie arrived in Paris in 1986 on a oneway ticket, his head full of romantic notions. Curiosity and the legs of a crosscountry runner propelled him daily from an unheated, seventhfloor walkup garret near the ChampsElyses to the old Montmartre haunts of the doomed painter Modigliani, the tombs of PreLachaise cemetery, the luxuriant alleys of the Luxembourg Gardens and the aristocratic le SaintLouis midstream in the Seine.Downie wound up living in the chic Marais district, married to the Parisborn American photographer Alison Harris, an equally incurable walker and chronicler. Ten books and a quartercentury later, he still spends several hours every day rambling through Paris, and writing about the city he loves. An irreverent, witty romp featuring thirtyone short prose sketches of people, places and daily life, Paris, Paris: Journey into the City of Light ranges from the glamorous to the leastknown corners and characters of the worlds favorite city.Photographs by Alison Harris.Praise for Paris, ParisI loved his collection of essays and anyone whos visited Paris in the past, or plans to visit in the future, will be equally charmed as well.David Lebovitz, author of The Sweet Life in Paris[A] quirky, personal, independent view of the city, its history and its peopleMavis GallantGives fresh poetic insight into the city . . . a voyage into the bends and recesses, the jagged edges, the secret interiors [of Paris].Departures
