Patterson regales us with insights and anecdotes from the highways, back alleys, barrooms, and music venues of America, to living as a recluse in the wilds of Canada, to his unique persepective on the American sports fan. All from his hidden inner sanctum in what he calls "The Capital of the Empire" - Washington, DC.
"This book is a steely mix of W.C. Fields, Groucho Marx, and Adlai Stevenson all hanging at the bar. I think it's my round." - Willy Porter
Patterson's unique blend of great writing, social commentary, and reverie, has made Bermuda Shorts an indie best seller!
A story of blessing and betrayal, of love, politics, and, above all, friendship. When five young women travel from California to The City of Light to spend their junior year abroad at the legendary Sorbonne they expect to find adventure, perhaps even romance.

The feminist theories of Simone de Beauvoir, the revolutionary ideas of Malraux, the sensuality of Colette, the existentialism of Camus and Sartre, soon have their heads spinning with the realization that seduction can be as intellectual as it is sensual! In That Paris Year, author Joanna Biggar has written a classic French novel - in English! Your ticket to Paris is here!
