Harriet Welty-Rochefort - Letter From Paris -
Harriet Welty Rochefort is the author of French Toast; An American in Paris Celebrates the Maddening Mysteries of the French, published by St. Martin's Press in 1999. Hailed by the Los Angeles Times as "wise and devastatingly funny", French Toast tells the story of cultural differences between the French and the Americans and relates how an Iowan managed to cope with them during two decades of life in France with her French husband and two half-French, half-American sons.Ms. Rochefort is currently working on her next book, which will also be about the French. Harriet and husband Philippe's personal Web page is http://perso.club-internet.fr/hwelty/
If you've had some funny, startling, satisfying, or dismaying food experiences in France you'd like to share, you may contact Harriet directly at hwelty@club-internet.fr.
Thirza Vallois - La Rue de Lappe -
Thirza Vallois brings Paris to life in a way that enthralls her readers and provides them with a detailed knowledge of the city which exceeds that of most Parisians, while her fast moving style disguises a depth of historical fact that is normally only found in academic tomes. Writer William Boyd wrote in The Spectator: "I think we can safely toss all other Paris guidebooks aside....There can be no higher praise than when I say they come close to the world's greatest guidebook, J. Link's "Venice for Pleasure" and they should soon achieve similar legendary status." The French Ambassador to the UK wrote: "I am convinced that this guide will constitute from now on, for the British lovers of Paris, a reference book which will have the success it deserves."
