What the critics are saying
“As a congenital Francophile, weaned from my cradle on the great cheeses of Normandy and the rich clarets of the Medoc; as someone for whom the glories of French culture, fashion and landscape have provided the keenest sensations of adolescence; and as a grown man whose every bodily fibre has, at times, fallen prostrate in worship before the altars of all French peoples, places and things, I am greatly encouraged by the publication of this book. Eden and Clarke's inspired new gospel (which I read on a flight to Damascus) has cleared my head of all those erring passions and revealed to me the true darkness lurking behind all that fake accordion music and garlic. So verily, verily say I now unto you, the French are a vicious, absurd and inadequate people and I very much hope that this super book of proofs to that effect will succeed in one day drubbing their whole abominable nation right off the face of our lovely planet!”
“This admirably intemperate book gives the nation of Cresson and Chirac and Elf and the egregious Enarques a spirited kick in the Jean-Paul Sartres. Ouff! Zut! Merde! They're wrong about French food and the wine, though…”
