Review:
"Barnes...has given Daudet a startling resurrection" (New York Times)
"A new translation of a forgotten pocket masterpiece by a forgotten pocket French writer, a very short, moving, book about pain" (Observer)
"Vivid and impressionistic, it reads at times like a list of symptoms, at times like a sort of macabre prose poem... It looks like a slight book, but Daudet's eloquence is dynamite" (Evening Standard)
"A great deal of this unique text needs explaining to modern readers. The footnotes that Barnes provides are wonders of information and observation, brilliant novellas in themselves" (Sunday Times)
"This slim volume is full of snapshots from the frontier of pain: unsentimental observations, anecdotes and cries of anguish" (Sunday Herald)
