Talk to the Snail, by Stephen Clarke

Another book by Stephen Clarke, but not nearly as funny as his novels. In this one, he offers insight and jokes about understanding French society, but his own voice is not nearly as enjoyable as his fictional alter-ego, Paul West. Fun, but I hope there will be another Paul West book at some point.

Yet another hysterically funny book in Clarke's international misunderstandings series featuring hapless, if handsome Paul West, this time valiantly crossing the USA in a Mini-Cooper, trying to win an international tourism promotional contest for the UK.

In The Merde For Love, by Stephen Clarke

Very funny continuation of the story started in A Year In The Merde, but this time focusing more on his ludicrous (but very frisky!) love life.

A Year in The Merde, by Stephen Clarke

SO funny, and so out of control, this was a re-read that I enjoyed and will look for his next book, In The Merde For Love, right now. Ludicous fictionalized look at trying to start a chain of English style tea rooms in France.
