New book out today from humorist and author of Midwest Indie Bestseller French Like Moi.
Paris Lost and Found begins with loss, as Carpenter’s wife sinks into the dementia that will ultimately claim her life. As the city of love becomes the capital of loss, Carpenter navigates through the complexities of grief and solitude. His quest for a new purpose takes him on a series of urban adventures that reveal Paris in a new and surprising light. Whether through an odd encounter on the Metro, a sudden clash with the gendarmes, or a crusade against migrant parrots, Carpenter offers up a unique and authentic glimpse into the vibrant tapestry of Parisian life. His witty prose and keen observations transport readers to a world where every corner holds a promise of novelty, leading eventually to a new beginning.
Author Scott Dominic Carpenter teaches French literature and creative writing at Carleton College (MN). He is the winner of a Mark Twain House Royal Nonesuch Award (2018) and 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), currently in development to become a major motion picture. Carpenter splits his time between St. Paul and Paris.
