Stephen Clarke: Merde Actually

Merde Actually


Description

"Edgier than Bryson, hits harder than Mayle." (The Times). A year after arriving in France, Englishman Paul West is still struggling with some fundamental questions: What is the best way to scare a gendarme? Why are there no health warnings on French nudist beaches? And is it really polite to sleep with your boss's mistress? Paul opens his English tea room, and mutates (temporarily) into a Parisian waiter; samples the pleasures of typically French hotel-room afternoons; and, on a return visit to the UK, sees the full horror of a British office party through Parisian eyes. Meanwhile, he continues his search for the perfect French mademoiselle. But will Paul find l'amour eternel, or will it all end in merde? Merde Actually. In his second comedy of errors, Paul West continues to sabotage the entente cordiale. Author's apology: "I'd just like to say sorry to all the suppository fans out there, because in this book there are no suppositories. There are, however, lots of courgettes, and I see this as progress. Suppositories to courgettes - I think it proves that I'm developing as a writer." (Stephen Clarke).

It is a confession of his most intimate relationships with his wife, his foster parents, and his kid sister Susan, whose own radicalism so reproaches him. This is more than a book. Noisy Baby Animals free ebook Thirty pop-up sheets held together by two screws which not only hold the book together in a visually unique package but are also easily removable, offer a feast of useful pop-ups that can be used as greeting cards, hangings, decorations, or whatever your heart desires. Miyuki Yoshida, a professional paper engineer, created thirty sheets in a way that allows people to find their own way of enjoying the book. Each pop-up sheet is intricately designed using simple colors. The delicate paper-cutting and folding work changes its appearance depending on the angle from which it is seen. "You will see how a sheet of paper turns into a piece of artwork," Yoshida comments. Art of Paper-Folding for Pop-up also offers a growing number of paper-craft enthusiasts a font of inspiriting folding and cutting ideas.
