A Year in the Merde
2 journalers for this copy...
Funny, especially if you have been to France. A British businessman moves to Paris for a year and experiences the local customs of the workplace and dating scene. I liked the transcriptions of British and French characters using and abusing each others' languages. The language stuff reminded me of some moments in David Sedaris' "Me Talk Pretty One Day" - though otherwise completely different from David Sedaris (not nearly as funny).

RELEASE NOTES:
I found it in a cafe and it's going back to the cafe. Mildly amusing, but very, very British and a little too much male fantasy as all the women fall into bed with our antihero. I'll take Diane Johnson.
