I just came across you and your work and I share many of your passions. I have written a lot about cafes as third places, in particular a book titled Cafe French: A Flaneur's Guide to the Language Lore and Food of the Paris Cafe. I also share your love of trains. Finally, I want to know if you are aware of the work of Susan Griffin (Chorus of Stones, Women and Nature, etc. She is a close friend of mine in Berkeley and she is now in hospice. There is a GoFundMe account to help her get through her final months. I have a substack page but don't use it often. My most recent book is Portrait in Red: A Paris Obsession (Heyday Books). It documents my journey with an abandoned painting I found on the sidewalk in Paris in 2015. Thanks for all the work you do and I hope to hear from you. I'd be happy to send you a copy of Cafe French. Sincerely, L. John Harris (ljohnharris.com)
I would be interested to see Cafe French, and I think I read a bit of Susan Griffin a long time ago, when I was supposed to write a book on ecofeminism. I appreciate the reminder—so many connections! Perhaps you can send me observations about social life you have observed in cafes?
Dear Ms Christensen,

Did you get my reply? If you give me an address, I'll send Cafe French.
Could you email me so I can then send address, rather than posting it here? Email is simple: karenchristensen@substack.com. Thanks a lot.
