The bestselling author of Paris to the Moon delivers another charming collection of outsider-looking-in tales of one of the world’s great cities. This time, it’s New York, which he falls in love with all over again as he returns from his five years in Paris. He writes about the aftermath of 9/11, the nightmare of looking for somewhere to live, and the minutiae of everyday life, which he beautifully manages to connect to larger realities so deftly that the reader barely notices the shift from the specific to the universal. This very funny and entertaining book transcends all those New York clichés to present a warm and engaging portrait of the city.
