Title: Tries just hard enough . . .
Review: Interestingly, this is the most serious funny book I've ever read. It will make you laugh out loud, no matter where you are, it made me cry (I never cry) and it sweetly describes everything that is lovely and depressing about the world we live in.What I also found is that this book fairly speaks about the true nature of France and the French. It speaks honestly to the dilemmas Americans face when dealing with the French, without resorting to stereotypes and doting, blind admiration.But make no mistake- this is not a book about international relations, gay issues, greek heritage or the trials of being poor in New York. It is a book about a life, played out and described in simple, self-deprecating prose, by a man who is halfway through and still learning to talk pretty.
