So completely the opposite of my experience of living in France for 3 years now, I don't live in Paris but even in Paris I haven't experienced anything like this at all, it seems ill-advised to write a whole book on communication style of an entire nation based on 1 year in 1 city, and then mostly talking to 'intellectuals' at that. Can't dis-recommend this enough.
