Confessions of a Journeyman Typesetter

Confessions of a Journeyman Typesetter

Author, printer, and libertine Rétif de la Bretonne ("the French pornographer") was among the most eccentric public figures of eighteenth-century France. Gérard de Nerval, drawn to such eccentrics, examines the life of the man whose work the 1911 Britannica deems "unfit for general perusal."

Genre: essay/biography
Length: 49,000 words
Translated from French (2012) by Juan LePuen
