Résumé

Mentioned in New York Review of Books, April 7, 2016, article by Luc Sante, "On 'Paris Vagabond'". Vagabond Paris led directly to the publication by Denoël of two other books written by friends of Clébert: Jacques Yonnet’s Rue des Maléfices (1954; originally entitled Enchantements sur Paris; in English translation as Paris Noir), a dizzying chronicle of occult forces along the clochard corridor on the Left Bank during the Occupation; and Robert Giraud’s Le Vin des rues (1955), an affecting survey of clochard life in Paris. The three books are often considered together as a trilogy, a record of the fragile and impoverished but nonetheless incandescent postwar years.
