Reviews:

"For those passionate about French arts and culture, Melinda Camber Porter's Through Parisian Eyes is like a daylong trip to the candy store. Porter's eclectic gathering provides an area of interest for almost every palate. A well-rounded, intelligent look at the contemporary Parisian spirit." —San Francisco Chronicle

"A particularly readable and brilliantly compiled collection. The voices of French intellectuals mingle in this uniquely constructed volume of interviews and commentary." — Boston Sunday Globe

"An inviting opportunity to tap into Paris' thinking . . . thanks to Porter's willingness to listen well and challenge when necessary." — Philadelphia Inquirer

"The issues that are raised in Through Parisian Eyes are intriguing. It is very well done." —Joyce Carol Oates

"Through Melinda Camber Porter's probing interviews the rich, varied cultural world of Paris springs to life. No cultural critic has produced more revealing, more witty portraits of leading French writers, artists, and political figures. In Through Parisian Eyes they reveal themselves in their brilliance as well as in their occasional outrageousness." —Thomas Bishop (Chairman, Center for French Civilization and Culture, New York University)
