French Decadent Tales by Stephen Romer
This newly translated selection of 36 of the best decadent tales from the French fin-de-siecle brings together some the most exotic, stylized, and cerebral literature in the French language. Hilarious and horrifying, these extraordinary, corrosive little tales cast a cold eye on the modern world. Superbly translated and introduced by Stephen Romer.
[A] beautifully translated anthology * Graham Robb, TLS *
