In this wildly imaginative display of storytelling, an obsessive book editor abandons the pressures of his professional life and seeks contemporary Bohemia in the Uber-rational city of Frankfurt -- accompanied by his enigmatic girlfriend, their barkless basenji dog, and an unpublishable manuscript of questionable origin and multiple voices. What follows is a feisty head-on collision of fiction and reality. Anyone deep in a tortured relationship will love the bittersweet conflict between domesticity and the pursuit of an artful life.
Written for inquisitive visitors, students, and working professionals, Paris Inside Out is the most comprehensive guide for surviving and prospering in today's Paris.

This is David Applefield's second novel after Once Removed (Mosaic Press 1997) which was highly praised in many reviews, including The Library Journal which stated: ..."contains passages of very fine writing, brilliant juxtapositions and deeply moving mediations on the nature of memory and death."
