Diane Johnson's Paris 'hood
As a child, Diane Johnson was entranced by The Three Musketeers, dashing 17th-century residents of the famous romantic quartier called St.-Germain-des-Prés. Now, the paperback edition of her delightful book will take even more Americans to the richly historic part of the city that has always attracted us, from Ben Franklin in the 18th-century to raffish novelist Henry Miller in the 20th.

Paris au Flaneur
Join me for a day of flanerie as we walk in the footsteps of Jean Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvoir, Miles Davis James Baldwin and many others.
Hi Terrance,I continue to be amazed and delighted by the variety and depth of your newsletters. My friend and I enjoyed your Paris au Flaneur tour last year before traveling to the Perigord for the Martin Walker tour. Keep entertaining us with your knowledge.
Melanie Ehrhart, Chicago
A tour of Paris with Terrance is a revelation. Give up the guise of “tourist” for a day, and take a break from museums, churches and monuments. Instead, participate in one of the city’s most hallowed traditions — flânerie — strolling some of the world’s most beautiful streets with a witty raconteur (and talented crooner) observing the way real Parisians live. A must!–Carl Kravetz, LA

Cher ami,
I continue to admire your productivity and amazing range of interests. I am at work on the new book (a biography of my mother) yes, at 91 it’s the triumph of optimism over statistics, but never mind.
Keep on with the good work, from signing to books.
With admiration,
