Off To Paris

admin — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 04:25:47 +0000

If you didn’t get a chance to jet off to Paris this summer because of the rising Euro and gas prices, be sure to pick up Bryce Corbett’s book ‘A Town Like Paris.’

Here is a snippet of the synopsis:
“In an attempt to save his nine-year relationship with his high school sweetheart, Corbett follows her from Sydney to London. His efforts prove ineffectual and the two break up within weeks of his arrival. On a whim, 28-year-old Corbett applies for the position as head of public relations for a government organization based in Paris. Although he has little PR experience—or interest in the job itself—he is offered and accepts the position, living the French belief that people should work to live and not live to work. Corbett balances his boring formal office life with various exploits involving nightly debauchery. As an expatriate, his experiences with the French government, the French Plumber’s Union and the various crazies who make up his Le Marais neighborhood are entertaining.”
