Does the artist have to get married? To this simple question posed in the prologue, Alphonse Daudet replies in the negative and proves it in twelve little-known stories, first published in 1873.
Poets, men of theater, musicians, sculptors, painters, obscure or famous, rich or broke are called to testify. The behaviors of the artistic world of the end of the century are sifted through an incisive and funny writing that resolutely places Daudet on the side of Zola and Maupassant. The charge is fierce, the report without reply.
