May 27
Scott Carpenter Book Launch and Conversation
Conversation & Book Launch with Prof. Scott Carpenter and Marcia DeSanctis. Introduced by Dean Bev Nagel. 'French Like Moi' When Scott Carpenter moves from Minnesota to Paris, little does he suspect the dramas that await: scheming neighbors, police denunciations, surly demonstrators, cooking disasters, medical mishaps―not to mention all those lectures about cheese! It turns out that nothing in the City of Light can be taken for granted, where even trips to the grocery store lead to adventure. In French Like Moi, Carpenter guides us through the merry labyrinth of the everyday, one hilarious faux pas after another. Through it all, he keeps his eye on the central mystery of what makes the French French (and Midwesterners Midwestern).
“A knack for turning catastrophes into comedy.” —Publishers Weekly
“Filled with levity and grace.” —Kirkus Reviews
