More about the book

Through a blend of memoir and anthropology, the author reflects on his two decades in Paris, navigating its complexities and transformations. He shares personal experiences, from enjoying local life to enduring significant events like terrorist attacks and social upheaval. The narrative captures Paris as both a multicultural haven and a city facing challenges, including gentrification and climate crises. As the city prepares for the Olympics and the Grand Paris project, the memoir offers a fresh perspective on contemporary urban life, free from clichés.
