Radio show host/doctor Eden and speech writer/journalist Clarke mince no words but plenty of the French as they take on their inclinations toward American culture, perverted pop music, and general ingratitude, suspicion, and rudeness. The authors cover literature, philosophy and other high-brow French aberrations but also examine aspects of everyday life, including not curbing dogs and taking credit for others' ideas but denying responsibility for many of their own, such as anti-Semitism. You might as well read this on the plane to Paris, or better yet on the way back as you lick your wounds. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
