Casting light and shadow, looking backwards and forwards, My Paris is a hypnotizing tale of desire and nostalgia, submerging the reader in the endless--but not always seamless--sensuality of the City of Light.

A Canadian woman keeps an extraordinary journal of her time in a Parisian studio in this stunning autofiction. Not a typical tourist, she prefers indoor spaces, seeing Paris go by on TV or watching from her window the ever-changing displays of men's designer clothing across the boulevard. Or she roams the streets, caught between nostalgia and a competing sense of the present day, between Paris's rich cultural traditions and the realities of Western imperialism. Disillusioned by her inability to reconcile these contradictions and by her own part in perpetuating them, she assembles in her journal pieces of the present, past, of art, philosophy, of herself, and of the world outside her.
