The Morning News’ “Letters From Paris” series of six articles about moving from New York to Paris is brilliant and hilarious, packed with just the right amount of cultural clichés and sharp, sarcastic statements.
My favourite is the one about jogging, which features little descriptive gems like this: “Husband in a white Oxford shirt, khaki trousers, loafers, no socks, with the cuffs of his pants rolled up to mid-calf. His wife in black tights, a black sleeveless top, ballet flats, enormous black Chanel sunglasses, makeup, and a gold pendant necklace. Both chatting, running probably a 10-minute mile.”
