Mark Greenside

Mark Greenside is an American author and teacher who divides his life between the San Francisco Bay Area and a small village in Brittany, France. His writing chronicles the comic misadventures and cultural collisions of an American trying to make a life in rural France. (Not Quite) Mastering the Art of French Living is a warm, funny memoir about the joys and frustrations of navigating French culture, customs, bureaucracy, and daily life. Greenside writes with self-deprecating humour about everything from shopping at the local market to understanding French social rules that no guidebook ever explains. The audiobook and book versions offer listeners and readers an entertaining, affectionate portrait of life in France as seen through American eyes. Greenside's work appeals to Francophiles, travel memoir enthusiasts, and anyone who has ever felt delightfully lost in another culture.
