#6 - A year in the Merde!

Our guest today is British author Stephen Clarke who lives in
Paris. 

He has sold more than a million books world-wide including the
hugely popular and hilarious Merde series which began with a Year
in the Merde based on Stephen’s own experiences in France and
with names changed to "avoid embarrassment, possible legal
action, and to prevent the author's legs being broken by someone
in a Yves Saint Laurent suit…". 

He talks about how a job as a translator at a French dictionary
company led to becoming a best selling writer. He shares his tips
for how to find a good restaurant in Paris, get a Parisian
attitude with just one word and how the hero of his Merde books,
Paul West, is perpetually 27 years old!
