L’Appart has
plenty of details, often told in sardonic humor, about life, food, culture,
cost and rules of living in the culinary capital.
But it
mainly focuses on the never-ending setbacks experienced by a results-oriented
American in a city whose laws seem designed specifically to delay closing the
deal on buying that perfect apartment…
…then going
through endless torture with untrustworthy and (it turns out) incompetent
contractors.
We live in
Miami, so evil...careless...corrupt...disappearing contractors are actually
considered the good ones!
Many here exist
only in a circle of hell below corrupt/incompetent.
So we feel
Lebovitz’s pain while he endures strings of five figure costs for perpetually
delayed, always shoddy work worth less than four figures when the dust clears.
Will our
hero live, sans nervous breakdown, to see the completion of his dream Paris
kitchen in an apartment that he will own?
