As Gopnik describes in this funny and tender book, the dual processes of
navigating a foreign city and becoming a parent are not completely
dissimilar journeys--both hold new routines, new languages, a new set of
rules by which everyday life is lived. With singular wit and insight,
Gopnik weaves the magical with the mundane in a wholly delightful, often
hilarious look at what it was to be an American family man in Paris at
the end of the twentieth century.
Characters: 52. Amazon rating: 4 stars. Genre: Non-Fiction/Memoir.
