In this engaging epistolary memoir, Howard Burton describes his early experiences of moving with his family to a medieval hilltop village in Languedoc in the South of France after years of running a Canadian research institute. The Languedoc region is sometimes referred to as the "real South of France"- thanks to its largely unspoilt, breathtakingly-beautiful countryside, traditional wine-making villages and slower pace of life. Prepare yourself for another hilarious dose of social commentary from the author of First Principles: Building Perimeter Institute; Burning Down UNESCO: A Guide To Innovative Fundraising and Exceptionally Upsetting: How Americans are increasingly confusing knowledge with opinion & what can be done about it
