I'll Never Be French (no matter what I do)

When Mark Greenside-a New Yorker living in California, a doubting (not-as-trusting-as) Thomas, downwardly mobile, political lefty, writer, and lifelong skeptic-is dragged by his girlfriend to a tiny Celtic village in Brittany at the westernmost edge of France, in Finistre, "the end of the world," his life changes. He falls out of love with her and in love with Brittany.

Mark Greenside has been a civil rights activist, Vietnam War protester, Vista volunteer, union leader, and college professor. The author of the short story collection I Saw a Man Hit His Wife, he divides his time between Alameda, California, and Brittany, France, where, he says, he still can't do anything without asking for help.
