We never make any point of hiding our love for all things French and literary, so when the two are combined, you can imagine how hot under the collar and moist in any every other crevice we become. In fact, perhaps being a Francophile and a bibliophile are the only two socially acceptable ‘-philes’ out there.
Paris versus New York is a blog we have followed from its inception—a witty, simply and beautifully illustrated celebration of graphic designer, Vahram Muratyan. Chronically the differences between our two favourite cities, Mr Muratyan contrasts something typically American—such as landmarks, food, personalities and activities—with something atypically French, and vice versa. What results is a wonderfully humorous comment on the two cities and their cultures.
Now, in a 224-page hardback, Paris vs New York: A Tally of Two Cities leaps from the screen and onto the coffee tables who crave the dynamism of both cities without having to leave their living room. It’s available now for pre-order.
