refreshing
Refreshing that Michael Rothenberg has written the 'Paris Journals' ...as a relative novice to Euro travel (I spent a month or two in the Greek isles) I found that reading this great book made me want to find out for myself. It's like an open doorway leading to the psyche of an interesting friend. From beginning to end, well worth the trip...

THE JOURNEY CONTINUES,
By Ross Emanuel (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Paris Journals (Paperback)
A must buy for every traveler to Paris. Wherever Michael Rothenberg goes you want to go with him. He sees it all in every exhibition. Behind each painting another imagination conjured in penetrating reflection. He has poetry by the throat and drags it around with him. Genius and tenacity. He is the troubadour.Not cool objectivity but personal obsession. Brandishing a baguette as he mounts the Eiffel Tower to call out his own liberation. There's something to discover here and Rothenberg makes it seem easy. With Rothenberg, it's always Romance. and always the first time.

A Real Trip,
By Roxanne Gupta (Reading, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Paris Journals (Paperback)
This book is a real trip and apparently so is the author. I read his novel Punk Rockwell and was sorry it ended so took a chance on the Paris Journals. The trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower from where he calls his mother and then takes you home to bed with him is alone worth the price of admission. Rothenberg displays his appropriately maladjusted relationship to a world that is not quite ready for someone with his degree of insight.
