    <body><![CDATA[Excellent introduction of the eccentric artists that sort of tore a hole though turn of a century Paris.  Erik Satie, Roussel (the painter), Alfred Jarry - all nutty as hell, and fantastic as well.

    <body><![CDATA[Very nice mix of narrative, cultural commentary and critical analysis.  If you have any interest in pre-war arts scene in Paris or avant-garde in general, I strongly recommend this one.  A rigorous but accessible book.  Shattuck writes very well.  (see also Shattuck's Forbidden Knowledge)]]></body>
