Description
Monsieur Mediocre: A candid account of life in France, from one who's learned to love its absurdities and complexities.
John von Sothen's humorous essays reveal the realities of family life abroad, dispelling myths about French culture and offering a fresh perspective on what it means to be French. With wit and incisive observations, he shares his own experiences living in Paris, where his idealized notions of France were gradually replaced by a more nuanced understanding.
This is a love letter to France - frank, smoky, and unsentimental - that will appeal to anyone interested in the complexities of French culture and the human experience.
