Paris and France as observed wryly and upclose by a longterm North American Paris resident. Seventytwo witty, sharply observed vignettes of daily life, personalities, women, society, culture, history, esthetics, economics and politics, with connecting miniessays as context and introduction to each topic. A book full of color and humor that skewers French foibles and hypocrisies, while offering cleareyed praise for France's values and lifestyle. Not a museumbymuseum guidebook, but a book that gives you an intimate 'feel' for Paris and France today including their everpresent history and the ways French think, react, and look at the world. The author's passion for his 'borrowed homeland' suggests that you too might be in danger of falling headoverheels in love with all things French.
