A compelling pre-pandemic nostalgia trip, made me miss Paris even more than usual.

Inspired by George Perec's [An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris], which Elkin was teaching in Paris, this little diamond of a book about daily commuting on the city buses is in one sense hum-drum, or 'infra-ordinary', yet captures aspects of life that having been noted, leave you pause for thought.

Pertinent to any city, it captured a Paris I am familiar with, having ridden the buses there myself. ( )
