The Vatard Sisters

Author: J.-K. Huysmans

Translator: Brendan King   Cover design: Marie Lane  

Reviews

The Vatard Sisters is worth reading, especially for the sidelights it casts on the vibrant, pullulating working life of the capital; it is also recognizably a nineteenth-century novel with characters and a plotline. Thanks to the effort of Brendan King, and to Dedalus Editions we now have in English a further document, usefully annotated and illustrated, to add to this florid case history.
