Five Nights in Paris: After Dark in the City of Light
by John Baxter
I've enjoyed a few of Baxter's other books, but this one was disappointing. A collection of short essays, this book focuses on Paris at night, and Baxter attempts to describe the city according to the five senses. So, we get sections on sound, taste, touch, scent, and sight.
However, many of the chapters fail to show a connection between their subject and the scene associated with it. It was hard to follow where Baxter was going here. It felt unfocused and unorganized.
And the shortest section was on Taste, with only 3 chapters. I would think a city like Paris would offer more inspiration in this area.
