Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt is one of Europe's best-selling and best loved authors. His most recent collection, "stories of redemption and reconciliation that carry a slight pleasant aftertaste, a lingering hint of delight" according to The Boston Globe, was published by Europa Editions last month. This October he will be on tour to meet his North American readers and to promote
