Since 1997 John Lichfield, The Independents correspondent in France, has been sending dispatches back to the newspaper in London. More than transient news stories, the popular Our Man in Paris series consists of essays on all things French. Sometimes serious, at other times light-hearted, they offer varied vignettes of life in the hexagone and trace the authors evolving relationship with his adopted country.
'When a foreign correspondent takes up a new posting, he or she starts by diligently following the national media, going to every press conference that is listed, befriending people who might be in any way useful, and in this way gradually gets going. What takes longer to acquire and is more valuable is the knowledge that comes from the experience of everyday life. That is what gives depth to the work of John Lichfield.' --The Independent
