Paul West Reeks
Deze serie volgt de avonturen van Paul West, een typische Brit die zich een weg baant door de charme en de chaos van het Franse leven. Met geestige observaties en humoristische tegenslagen verkent het verhaal de culturele botsingen, de beproevingen van het leven als expat en de dagelijkse absurditeiten die het leven interessant maken. Het is een heerlijke mix van reisverslag, komedie en scherpzinnig commentaar op culturele verschillen en menselijke zwakheden.

One Brit in Brussels. Two French Women. And a whole lot of merde. The hilarious new novel from Stephen Clarke, bestselling author of A Year in the Merde and A Thousand Years of Annoying the French. Does Brussels really want to outlaw bingo, bagpipes and smoky bacon crisps? Are eurocrats trying to rename the English Channel? And can the ink in euro notes really make men impotent? No. Well, not exactly. But it is true that the EU is a seriously flawed institution. And it's about to become even more so as Englishman Paul West goes to Brussels to work for a French MEP, and gets an insider's view of what really goes on in the massive madhouse that is the EU Parliament. As Britain prepares to vote whether it stays in or exits the EU, Paul gets the chance to influence the result of the referendum. He has to decide: better the devil you know? Or bring on the Brexit? It's a decision that could cost him a lot more than his euro paypacket . . .
