( ) Full review here: http://thesteadfastreader.blogspot.com/2013/12/monday-memoir-deer-hunting-in-par... One of my sole issues with this book was the title. If I had just been skimming titles and run across this book I wouldn't have even picked it up off the shelf, however, through the magic of review copies, I was lucky enough to get past the title and actually read it. I love the cover. I had a difficult time through the first three quarters of the book on pinning down exactly how much time had elapsed between events. I loved how the book was strung together both with recipes (ala Like Water for Chocolate) at least two are for venison heart. This strings the narrative together. I also loved the references to nineteenth century publications and current want ads in 'obscure' periodical. The passages on hunting may wax philosophical at times, but I think that it's appropriate. Not necessarily laugh out loud funny, but there were warm moments that made me smile. Overall: good. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

What happens when a Korean-American preacher's kid refuses to get married, travels the world, and quits being vegetarian? She meets her polar opposite on an online dating site while sitting at a café in Paris, France and ends up in Paris, Maine, learning how to hunt. A memoir and a cookbook with recipes that skewer human foibles and celebrates DIY food culture,Deer Hunting in Paris is an unexpectedly funny exploration of a vanishing way of life in a complex cosmopolitan world. Sneezing madly from hay fever, Lee recovers her roots in rural Maine by running after a headless chicken, learning how to sight in a rifle, shooting skeet, and butchering animals. Along the way, she figures out how to keep her boyfriend's conservative Republican family from "mistaking" her for a deer and shooting her at the clothesline.
