"This book is about a writer in Paris who is supposed to be working on his novel and is instead having an affair, exploring the city of lights, philosophizing and excusing himself for not writing the novel -- until you realize that the book you've been reading is that novel and also his life ... and if you're lucky, yours too."
Juan Galis-Menendez, Resident Scholar
