Rue Bonaparte

Sadly, I have no immediate plans to visit Paris, but when I do go next time, I'm going to walk up and down Rue Bonaparte just to have a look at Diane Johnson's house, which, as I recall, is Nº 8. Ms Johnson qua novelist has an assured and knowing voice, but in this book about her neighborhood, she sounds much more like the Californian expat that she is, knowledgeable enough to know how much she doesn't know.

I wish that Ms Johnson would write an update of Edith Wharton's French Ways and their Meaning. I even wrote to her to make the suggestion. If and when I get an answer, I'll let you know.
