In the grand tradition of Stein, Hemingway, Baldwin, and Liebling, Gopnik set out to enjoy the storied existence of an American in Paris--walks down the paths of the Tuileries, philosophical discussions in caf s, and afternoon jaunts to the Mus e d'Orsay. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut as readers of Gopnik's beloved and award-winning \"Paris Journal\" in \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e know, there was also the matter of raising a child and carrying on with \u003ci\u003ela vie quotidienne\u003c\/i\u003e--the daily, slightly less fabled life.
