A splendid read. There's such a moment-to-moment immediacy to his description that transports you to that moment and place. One thing that struck me as odd was Barral's description of B's and Nadar's heads. This is the kind of observation that would never occur in our time--but probably stems from the interest in phrenology of that era.
