Touring “Paris, Paris”

Travel Blog  •  Jim Benning  •  09.12.05 | 4:14 AM ET

Travel writer David Downie is touring the U.S. in support of his new book, Paris, Paris: Journey into the City of Light. The book features a collection of Downie’s stories about the city. imageHe couldn’t have asked for a better review: Jan Morris called it, “Perhaps the most evocative American book about Paris since ‘A Movable Feast.’” Downie will appear in Portland, Oregon on Tuesday and in Seattle on Friday and Saturday. Information about other dates is available here.

Update: The San Francisco Chronicle features a story by Downie about Paris’ Marais district in Sunday’s paper.

Thanks! The tour is going great—a real deep-end dive into America and Americana. How small and strange and wonderful Paris seems from here… David
