I never had the idea of moving to Paris and becoming something. I liked the idea of living in Paris because it seemed to have so many parts of life I really enjoyed. The people there seemed to prize literature and art, food and drinking, a more hedonistic way of living.
- Dream

- Nov 07, 2020
My ambition was to be cosmopolitan. I grew up in the suburbs. I went to college in Maine. I had a dream in my head that if you wanted to be the most urbane, living-life-to-the-fullest kind of person, Paris was the place to be.
- Me

- Nov 07, 2020
In college, my wife did a study abroad in Nairobi, and I did the exact same program in Cape Town. For me, the experience of being in that other culture really set up a longing. When I'm traveling, things seem really sharp. You learn things ten times faster.
- Best Time

Lunch is the best time of day to eat in Paris. Then you get to go walk it off afterwards.
- City

- Nov 07, 2020
I think one of my favorite things about Paris is the ever-present, nonstop beauty of the city. So I would just walk as much as possible.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think the place we love the most is the Parc des Buttes Chaumont. It's in the 19th arrondissement. It's where I would go jogging and my wife, Rachel, and I would go for walks. It's appreciated by Parisians but it's not really known to tourists.
- Horrible

By and large, the Mexican food in Paris is horrible.

I actually don't think there is machismo in America, unless it's the cowboy type - the silent, smoking brooder.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Machismo requires Latin blood. I'd say I never experienced machismo up close until I worked in a French office; the typical Wall Street gunner has the soul of a coffee filter in comparison.

Of course, there's no reason that Paris should have decent Mexican food. It's a silly expectation - there's a Mexican population in Paris, but they're not exactly traveling there from across the border. Paris also doesn't do Peruvian all that well, either.
- Hands

That's the thing: once it's in their hands, it's not my book anymore, it's theirs. I have no idea what happens when they start to digest it. So when someone writes me to explain how they read it, what it was like, what they enjoyed, there's a thrill. Writers who don't make their email addresses public are missing out on something wonderful.
- Dot
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Bookstores don't exactly dot the American highway in the grand manner of Sbarros.
- Hate
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
No one really knows the value of book tours. Whether or not they're good ideas, or if they improve book sales. I happen to think the author is the last person you'd want to talk to about a book. They hate it by that point; they've already moved on to a new lover. Besides, the author never knows what the book is about anyway.
- Mistakes

- Nov 07, 2020
My first novel, 'You Lost Me There,' has been described as a beach read. Tough bracket, beach reads. There's not much room for mistakes when you're competing against the sun for a person's attention.
- Picture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I can't picture going to a beach, or anywhere on vacation, without a couple of books as companions.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My ideal vacation isn't about complex maneuvers. I want to arrive somewhere foreign where I don't speak the language, go hiking, then plop down in a sunny square, have drinks, read a book, and see what happens.
- Good

- Nov 07, 2020
Tintin comics evoke Bermuda, where my parents doled out comics for good behavior and my grandmother taught me how to shuffle cards.
- Boy Scout
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
About guns, about hunting, it's safe to say I know nothing. The last gun I fired was a musket at Boy Scout camp.
- Life

- Nov 07, 2020
For years, I've felt an obligation to harvest an animal, since all my life I've so mindlessly consumed them. But that was from the safety of my desk.
- Popcorn

- Nov 07, 2020
Americans love popcorn, and their love doesn't quit.

When I was a kid, we didn't eat in restaurants much, but a good report card meant my sister or I could choose anyplace in town for a dinner out, and I always picked Benny's, a dive bar near the train station, because they had the best nachos around.
- Gray

- Nov 07, 2020
My father-in-law has ear hair like a wolverine. It fans out from the auricles, wafting from the ridge lines like cilia, like gray feathered plumage.
