Author: Simon Kuper, a journalist for the Financial Times. It’s an engaging and insightful book about his experiences as an expat living in Paris since the early 2000’s and his observations about how the city has changed during that time. For a video intro to Kuper and the book, here is a link to an interview he did in late 2024 at the American Library in Paris :
