The Trouble with Paris: Book Review
My review of The Trouble with Paris by Mark Sayers is now up at Denver Journal.
...by the way, any particular books you would recommend from the authors you mentioned? I very much appreciated Sayers' book, but would be glad to study some more comprehensive, academic arguments. Thanks.
I am glad to hear your perspective, thanks for reviewing this!
