Join us for an unforgettable literary journey with Scott Dominic Carpenter, Professor of French at Carleton College, as he presents his latest memoir, Paris Lost and Found: A Memoir of Love.

"Paris Lost and Found" is a poignant and humorous exploration of life, love, and loss in the City of Light. With his signature wit and keen eye for detail, Carpenter weaves together:

  • Hilarious encounters with French bureaucracy and culture
  • Heartfelt reflections on his wife's struggle with Alzheimer's
  • Insightful observations on the layers of Parisian life
  • A touching narrative of rediscovery and resilience

What to Expect

  • Engaging readings from "Paris Lost and Found"
  • Amusing anecdotes about expatriate life in France
  • Thoughtful discussion on love, loss, and new beginnings
  • Q&A session with the author

Whether you're a Francophile, a lover of memoirs, or simply enjoy stories that blend humor with heart, this evening promises to be both entertaining and moving.

Don't miss this opportunity to experience Paris through the eyes of a gifted storyteller who has "perfected the art of rendering the typical day-to-day, real-life scenarios that Americans in France frequently find themselves in."
