What does a Tsonga speaker from South Africa make of Paris, the French city of love?
In October 2007 Eric Miyeni, accompanied by his trusty pen and camera, spent two weeks in Paris keenly observing the citys architecture, its history, its people and its culture.
The result is an accomplished collection of essays and black and white photographs that are quirky, often poignant, quite astute, really funny and truly different in their take on the subject matter.
For once the tables are turned in a positive way: an African is observing instead of being observed, and passing comment instead of being commented on.
