I was editor-in-chief of World Media in Paris, where I put together a magazine published by a group of twenty-six newspapers worldwide, and was a staff member at both Vanity Fair and CBC/Radio Canada in New York. Random House published my translation of Lamia Ziadé’s Bye Bye Babylon in 2011, I've written several books on Paris published by Dorling Kindersley and Flammarion.
