Eric Hazan is the founder of the publisher La Fabrique and the author of several books, including the celebrated The Invention of Paris. He has lived in Paris all his life.
Eric Hazan's elegant, characteristically learned account of his journey through contemporary Paris, written in a tone both intimate and authoritative, is at once a companionably unhurried evocation of the city's rich, radical past and - at a time when capital is dramatically reorganising its topography - a bracingly urgent intervention in debates about the city's future. As Andre Breton might have observed, there really are no lost steps here. - Matthew Beaumont, author of Nightwalking An ardent student of the anatomy of the city, Hazan is a keen observer with a remarkable memory: despite his limitations, he has written an unmissable account of Paris's unique and defiant physiognomy. - Lauren Elkin, Guardian
