Paperback / softback. New., 6, New York, NY, U.S.A.: Random House, Incorporated, 2000. Trade Paperback. Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Paris. The name alone conjures images of chestnut-lined boulevards, sidewalk cafés, breathtaking façades around every corner - in short, an exquisite romanticism that has captured the American imagination for as long as there have been Americans. In 1995, Adam Gopnik, his wife, and their infant son left the familiar comforts and hassles of New York City for the urbane glamour of the City of Light. Gopnik is a longtime New Yorker writer, and the magazine has sent its writers to Paris for decades - but his was above all a personal pilgrimage to the place that had for so long been the undisputed capital of everything cultural and beautiful. It was also the opportunity to raise a child who would know what it was to romp in the Luxembourg Gardens, to enjoy a croque monsieur in a Left Bank café - a child (and perhaps a father, too) who would have a grasp of that Parisian sense of style we Americans find so elusive. So, in the grand tradition of the American abroad, Gopnik walked the paths of the Tuileries, enjoyed philosophical discussions at his local bistro, wrote as violet twilight fell on the arrondissements. Of course, as readers of Gopnik's beloved and award-winning "Paris Journals" in The New Yorker know, there was also the matter of raising a child and carrying on with day-to-day, not-so-fabled life. Evenings with French intellectuals preceded middle-of-the-night baby feedings; afternoons were filled with trips to the Musée d'Orsay and pinball games; weekday leftovers were eaten while three-star chefs debated a "culinary crisis." As Gopnik describes in this funny and tender book, the dual processes of navigating a foreign city and becoming a parent are not completely dissimilar journeys - both hold new routines, new languages, a new set of rules by which everyday life is lived. With singular wit and insight, Gopnik weaves the magical with the mundane in a wholly delightful, often hilarious look at what it was to be an American family man in Paris at the end of the twentieth century. "We went to Paris for a sentimental reeducation - I did anyway - even though the sentiments we were instructed in were not the ones we were expecting to learn, which I believe is why they call it an education." 338 pages.

From Publishers Weekly: In addition to founding and managing Victoria, a women's lifestyle magazine, Lindemeyer contributes a column under the name Jenny Walton. Selecting from among those pieces, she recalls the large Victorian home of her Connecticut childhood; a knitting club with high school chums; the bygone women's dormitory she lived in after college; and most of all, her grandmother's homespun wisdom and skills at the stove and needle. Taken together, the pieces resemble a memoir, although Lindemeyer notes the book ""is not exactly autobiographical."" Arranged in a nonchronological, patchwork sequence, the essays muse on the activities and sentiments traditionally associated with domesticity, or, as Lindemeyer puts it, ""the beauty of a woman's life through the artfulness of the things she has gathered about her."" After a few samplings, however, even sticky buns and apple pie become tiresome, especially when set under glittering windows that conspicuously sport fresh lace curtains. Illustrations. Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc." "From School Library Journal: YA-These refreshingly upbeat stories are based on the columns written by the author, editor-in-chief of Victoria Magazine, under her pen name. While not completely autobiographical, the selections are her remembrances of family and friends who influenced her growing-up years and beyond. With the death of her mother when she was five, and her father's remarriage two years later, this bewildered child and her sister, 10 years older, became part of her stepmother's large Midwestern family. Lindemeyer's stepgrandmother, Bertha Maude Keithley, came to live with the newly created family and became the child's confidante and unfailing supporter. The woman's encouragement helped her pursue her dream of college as she struggled with summer jobs. Many of the stories center around this relationship; others focus on more distant family members. This picture of warm, caring families, told with fondness and humor and with glimpses of the creation of a fashionable magazine, will appeal to young adults, especially those who enjoy Jan Karon's books. While some of the stories seem Pollyanna-ish, woven through them is the career path of a successful woman who values home and family as a source of comfort and strength.

From Publishers Weekly: Bach stumbled in the first two volumes of his new series of fables (Air Ferrets Aloft and Rescue Ferrets at Sea), but this effort recaptures some of the sense of wonder that made Jonathan Livingston Seagull a runaway bestseller. The protagonists are a pair of aspiring writers, Budgeron Ferret and his mate, Danielle, who are keen to climb the literary ladder. Budgeron, despite bouts of writer's block, has high hopes after selling a few short stories to some low-level magazines, and he hits it big when he publishes a series of novels for young ferrets (called kits). Meanwhile, Danielle pens a controversial romance "'"for the fun of it, "'" which quickly becomes a bestseller. Much of the second half of the novel deals with the book tour that Danielle and Budgeron undertake together after becoming a successful literary, 2.5, Spilogale Inc., 2015. digest. good. David Hardy.
