The Book
A Parisian Memoir of Pastries, Passion, and Reinvention
From Chocolate to Philosopher traces a life of reinvention -
from pastry-scented postwar Paris to couture ateliers, from New York's
garment district to the lecture halls of NYU, and onward to Argentine tango.
Blending intimate scenes with reflection, it explores immigration,
ambition, loss, and the art of beginning again.
