International launch of PARIS par HASARD: from BAGELS TO BRIOCHES, Introduced by John Baxter
It is with enormous pride that I announce the publication of my first book, PARIS PAR HASARD: from BAGELS TO BRIOCHES.

Fans and friends of Terrance will not be surprised (or maybe they will) at this breezy and charming memoir, and those who don't know him will enjoy making a new friend.
–Diane Johnson, Le Divorce

October 17th
Paris in New York Literary Festival
at the ROGER SMITH HOTEL .
Last year was the year of Julia (Child)-the movie Julia & Me, her books and her legendary editor Judith JONES who discovered THE DIARY OF ANNA FRANK in Paris and also edited all of John Updike’s work. She regaled us with tales from Julia’s kitchen aided by a spot-on vocal impression.
But the real star was Judith herself whose wit, warmth and charm dazzled the audience as A STAR WAS BORN. I am honored that she will join me again.
The Line-up

TERRANCE GELENTER-discussing the canon of Expatriate literature and his new book, PARIS PAR HASARD: FROM BAGELS TO BRIOCHES
Fans and friends of Terrance will not be surprised (or maybe they will) at this breezy and charming memoir, and those who don't know him will enjoy making a new friend.
–Diane Johnson, Le Divorce
The narrative is also punctuated by personal favorites and passions of Gelenter – films, French coffee, bistros and cafes, and of course the remarkable people whom he calls his friends, acquaintances and companions today.
From Bagels to Brioches – Paris par hasard is an entertaining look at the author and his vision, and at the Paris he has created for himself and others. It is a book not quickly forgotten.
