I lived in the rue Saint-Antoine, which turns into the rue de Rivoli a few blocks past my apartment, in 1998-1999, and we couldn't open the window because of the diesel fumes and traffic noise. A world of difference today.

![A screenshot of an email that reads: "Dear Richard C. Keller,
I hope you’re doing well. My name is Emily, and I’m the Organizer of BoozyBookLovers, a dynamic book club community based in Washington, DC, known for engaging discussions and thoughtfully curated book selections.
I recently came across Colonial Madness, and what immediately stood out to us was How the history of psychiatry in North Africa was used as a tool of both control and liberation.. The way you explore [insert key theme, character dynamic, or narrative strength] gives the story a depth that feels both impactful and highly discussion-worthy. It’s the kind of book that naturally invites readers to pause, reflect, and share perspectives, something our community truly values."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:p67wytxnbngen67yqkbumnhp/bafkreicr2xo22rebetcsqcviyhzyck4qkctnwehts7hdwszts7aqm75f64)
