Title: Higonnet at his best
Review: Higonnet doesn't put out many books, rather he reads a many more than any of his contemporaries, and puts out a few selective gems of academic work.The above reviewer is right, it's not a good book for the traveler looking to get a grasp on Paris, but what on earth would make you think that a book published by a university press (in this case Harvard) by a Harvard professor would be writen for tourists?If you want to know Paris in a depth that was, until now, untold, then read Higonnets masterpiece. If, like the above reviewer, you want to know where French Fries were invented in Paris, please mail your passport to the nearest State Dept. agent and ask them to revoke it. Parisians already hate us enough.
