About This Item
Bloomsbury, New York (2005), 2005. Hardcover. Very Good/Near Fine. Octavo, hardcover, previous owner's name on outer pages else VG in near fine yellow pictorial dj. First Edition, second printing. 276. pp. the almost-true account of the author's adventures as an expat in Paris. Based on his own experiences and with names changed to "avoid embarrassment, possible legal action-and to prevent the author's legs being broken by someone in a Yves Saint Laurent suit", the book is narrated by Paul West, a twenty-seven-year-old Brit who is brought to Paris by a French company to open a chain of British "tea rooms." He must manage of a group of lazy, grumbling French employees, maneuver around a treacherous Parisian boss, while lucking into a succession of lusty girlfriends (one of whom happens to be the boss's morally challenged daughter).
