Paris Lost and Found: A Memoir of Love
Following the success of FRENCH LIKE MOI, Scott Dominic Carpenter returns to Paris with more humorous, tender, and deftly crafted tales. This time, he wrestles with tragedy as his wife fades with Alzheimer’s disease. Eventually, he finds himself alone in the French capital, searching for a new beginning. The city rises to the occasion, offering a backdrop for more adventures that blend humor, grief, and ultimately, hope. Whether describing an odd encounter on the Metro, a sudden clash with the forces of order, or a crusade against migrant parrots, PARIS LOST & FOUND offers an authentic and quirky version of Paris not found in any tourist guide.
Scott Dominic Carpenter teaches French literature and creative writing at Carleton College (MN). Winner of a Mark Twain House Royal Nonesuch Award (2018), he is the author of FRENCH LIKE MOI: A MIDWESTERNER IN PARIS (winner of a Next Generation Indie Book Award), THIS JEALOUS EARTH: STORIES, and THEORY OF REMAINDERS: A NOVEL (a Kirkus Best Book of 2013), which is currently under option with a major motion picture production company. Carpenter splits his time between St. Paul and Paris.
