Book Preview:

#1 I was relieved to be leaving the newspaper, but I was also clear about two things: I didn’t want to write about politics or money anymore, and I wanted a boyfriend. I was smitten with Simon, but wary. I didn’t let myself take him too seriously.

#2 I move to Paris and begin dating Simon, a French soccer writer. I sell most of my possessions and ship the rest to France. My friends warn me that I’m being rash. I ignore them and move in with Simon.

#3 I enjoy Paris, but I find the French people and culture to be extremely cold and indifferent. They do not seem to care that I am there, and they do not laugh or smile.

#4 I meet many expatriates at these parties, and none seem thrilled to see me. I’m prepared to follow the American model of confession and mirroring, but they pokes daintily at their pastry and discuss theories of art.
