Olivier Magny Ordre des livres (chronologique)

<b>In the tradition of the <i>New York Times</i> bestseller <i>Stuff White People Like</i>, a tongue-in-cheek homage to Parisians. </b> To be mistaken for a Parisian, readers must buy the newspaper <i>Le Monde</i>, fold it, and walk. Then sit at a café and make phone calls. Be sure to order San Pellegrino, not any other kind of fizzy water. They shouldn't be surprised when a waiter brings out two spoons after they order le moelleux au chocolat- it is understood that the dessert is too sinfully delicious not to share. Go to l'île Saint-Louis-all Parisians are irredeemably in love with that island. Feel free to boldly cross the street whenever the impulse strikes-pedestrian crosswalks are too dangerous. If they take a cruise on the Seine, they will want to stand outside, preferably with their collar popped up. If they want to decorate, may we suggest the photographs of Robert Doisneau? To truly be cool in Paris, own an iPhone, wear Converse sneakers, and order sushi. And as they stroll through the Luxembourg Gardens, remember-they can't go wrong wearing black.

Parisien? Une insulte pour certains, un graal pour d'autres, qu'il soit origine ou destination, paris c'est sûr façonne ses habitants. Olivier Magny propose ici une plongée dans le monde étrange des parisiens et nous donne enfin de bonnes raisons de les aimer ou de les détester, au programme : mauvais esprit et autodérision portés par un auteur 100% parisien, alors... Parisien?

A wine connoisseur, teacher and Parisian explains how to fit in and be truly cool in the City of Lights including walking with a folded copy of the newspaper Le Monde under your arm and always ordering a San Pellegrino. Original. 40,000 first printing.
