California Woman Follows Her Dream in Me, Myself and Paris, Published by Outskirts Press
Newport Beach, CA, August 10, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Humorist, columnist and blogger Ruth Yunker announced today the release of her new book Me, Myself and Paris, One Toe under the Eiffel Tower, the Other in the Grocery Store, published by Outskirts Press. As half resident and half visitor, the witty Newport Beach denizen takes on Paris in three six-week visits and reports to her readers her adventures as an irreverent, wide eyed California woman grappling with everyday living and dutiful sightseeing in the City of Light.
A California newspaper writer with a column that humorously observes the foibles of the community in which she lives, Ruth comes well prepared to chronicle her adventures in Paris. She shows her readers what Paris looks like, feels like, smells like, and tastes like to an American woman brave enough to face the vagaries of metro ticket agents and unassuming shopkeepers while still trying to emulate chic, windblown Parisian women wearing no lipstick.
With a keen eye for the telling details of life on the Paris street and with self-deprecating wit, Ruth makes each of her little adventures a succulent treat -- whether she’s describing a semi-masochistic trek up the stone steps of a Notre Dame tower in boots of chocolate suede “with toes sharp enough to slice tomatoes” or her silent education on the rules of bagging one’s own groceries at the corner store.
Me, Myself and Paris covers the romantic and the beautiful Paris as well as the daily trudge of its city life. Ruth sees that it is both the most beautiful and the most temperamental city in the world, where to a woman from America, free and unfettered, willing to do (almost) everything the Parisian way, the locals are still sometimes foe, sometimes neighborly Samaritans.
Me, Myself and Paris is available on-line in paperback through Amazon and Barnes and Noble and at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore for a maximum trade discount in quantities of ten or more.
