Book Synopsis Le Chat Noir Exposed by : CAROLINE. CREPIAT
Book excerpt: This extraordinary work of scholarship exposes the liveliest fin-de-siècle bohemian cabaret and journal in Paris. Le Chat Noir was a playground for painters, writers, poets, pranksters, and musicians, all gleefully demolishing the standards of art and good taste. Caroline Crépiat examines such eccentric personalities as Paul Verlaine, Alphonse Allais, Marie Krysinska, Maurice Mac-Nab, and Charles Cros, and analyzes their treatment of money, women, translation, humor, sex, disease, and scatology, with generous samplings of the original texts. A masterful look at a rich and colorful legend of the avant-garde!
