The High Life The High Life tells the grotesque tale of Adolphe Marlaud, a diminutive man and sympathetic monster who lives by one simple rule: "live as little as possible so as to suffer as little as possible"—a rule shaken one cold summer by the amorous intentions of an enormous concierge and the disturbed fermentation of buried trauma. |

The Book of Monelle The fin-de-siècle "golden book" of the French Symbolists, The Book of Monelle and its polyglot author influenced everyone from Alfred Jarry and Paul Valéry to Oscar Wilde and André Gide. Constructed out of Nietzschean aphorisms, cruel and wistful short stories, fictionalized autobiography, and an almost biblical treatment of the theme of prostitution, The Book of Monelle remains as enigmatic and haunting today as when it first appeared. |
