HTML:When Scott Carpenter moves from Minnesota to Paris, little does he suspect the dramas that await: scheming neighbors, police denunciations, surly demonstrators, cooking disasters, medical mishapsâ??not to mention all those lectures about cheese! It turns out that nothing in the City of Light can be taken for granted, where even trips to the grocery store lead to adventure. In French Like Moi, Carpenter guides us through the merry labyrinth of the everyday, one hilarious faux pas after another. Through it all, he keeps his eye on the central mystery of what makes the French French (and Midwesterners Midwestern). Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Instead of writing for the visitor, Carpenter humorously documents his experiences as a Mid-Westerner who moves to Paris with his wife and daughter. He writes of his everyday life as he wrestles with Parisian apartments (the plumbing, the size, the neighbors, the politics), health care, preparing a gourmet meal for friends, riding the metro, and even grocery shopping - all are entertaining stories as he describes his misadventures.
I recommend this lighthearted memoir of an American in Paris. It's a perfect read for this time period when we're doing very little traveling, yet need an entertaining escape from our stay-at-home world. ( )
