Five nights in Paris

John Baxter takes on yet another tour of Paris, this time at night. Baxter spouts out story after story as he leads us around the city in the dark for five nights, using as his focus a different sense for each evening. His breadth of knowledge about Paris and its people is incredible; say a word and Baxter can chase around it for hours, I suspect. Know, going in, that many of his stories are on the steamy side; that seems to be Baxter's specialty. A perfect book for those of us who can't make it to Paris every year except through books.
