Have you ever walked into a half-empty Parisian restaurant,
only to be told that it’s “complet”? Attempted to
say “merci beaucoup” and accidentally complimented
someone’s physique? Been overlooked at the boulangerie due
to your adherence to the bizarre foreign custom of waiting
in line? Well, you’re not alone. The internationally
bestselling author of A Year in the Merde and In the Merde
for Love has been there too, and he is here to help. In
Talk to the Snail, Stephen Clarke distills the fruits of
years spent in the French trenches into a truly handy (and
hilarious) book of advice. Read this book, and find out how
to get good service from the grumpiest waiter; be
exquisitely polite and brutally rude at the same time; and
employ the language of l’amour and le sexe. Everything you
need is here in this funny, informative, and seriously
useful guide to getting what you really want from the
French.
