How to choose a hotel room where you might actually get a
good night's sleep?
Stephen Clarke goes behind the scenes to reveal everything
Parisians know about their city - but don't want to tell you.
Stephen Clarke
lives in Paris, where he divides his time between writing and not
writing. While researching
Paris Revealed
, his 'non-writing' time has been spent interrogating Parisians about
their bizarre habits, and revisiting his favourite places in the city to
make sure they're still worthy of being his favourites. His first novel,
A Year in the Merde
, became a word-of-mouth hit in 2004. Since then he has published three
further
Merde
novels,
Talk to the Snail
, an indispensable guide to understanding the French, and a history
book,
1000 Years of Annoying the French
, which was a
Sunday Times
bestseller and reached number one in Amazon UK's humour chart.
