Book excerpt: In "Paris, New York, Shanghai" Eijkelboom creates a clever and witty comparative study of three major contemporary metropolises, each selected for having been (or promising to be) the cultural capital of its time. Paris during the 19th century; New York, the 20th; and Shanghai, the 21st. Expansive cityscapes detailing the quirks of each city, and snapshot-style pictures of their inhabitants soon reveal how similar one city is to another today.
