Join us in the Passport Book Club. This mo nth we will be reading Adam Gopnik's Paris to the Moon
\nIn 1995\, A
dam Gopnik\, his wife\, and their infant son left the familiar comforts an
d hassles of New York City for the urbane glamour of Paris. In the grand t
radition of Stein\, Hemingway\, Baldwin\, and Liebling\, Gopnik set out to
enjoy the storied existence of an American in Paris&mdash\;walks down the
paths of the Tuileries\, philosophical discussions in café\;s\, and
afternoon jaunts to the Musé\;e d&rsquo\;Orsay. \;
\;
But as readers of Gopnik&rsquo\;s beloved and award-winning &ldquo\;
Paris Journal&rdquo\; in \;The New Yorker \;know\, there was also
the matter of raising a child and carrying on with \;la vie quotidienn
e&mdash\;the daily\, slightly less fabled life. As Gopnik discovers in thi
s tender account\, the dual processes of navigating a foreign city and bec
oming a parent are not completely dissimilar&mdash\;both promise new routi
nes\, new languages\, and a new set of rules by which each day is to be li
ved. \;
