At the risk of blowing our own trumpet
...and in the absence of anyone else to do it, here follow a couple of nice mentions for the Speak the Culture series in the press.
The Independent’s resident culture pundit Tom Sutcliffe covered the books in ‘The Week in Culture’ recently, referring to “some very nice touches in the British volume – including an illustration of the safe gaze-range while looking at passengers opposite you on the Tube (anywhere between shoelaces and mid-chest is OK).
The Sunday Telegraph’s travel section carried a piece on Speak the Culture: France in Clover Stroud’s Travel Book Reviews. In particular, Clover honed in on the literature and philosophy chapter: “There are some good sections on French philosophy, taking the reader on a whistle-stop tour from Descartes to Bernard-Henri Lévy. This is a light-hearted guide, which might either inspire the reader to delve further into French culture, or at least help him or her talk their way through a dinner party conversation on the relationship between Foucault and the roots of post-Structuralism.”
Right, there you go, trumpet blown. Now, who wants to hear me play the banjo…?
