<p>About the Author\nJules Renard (1864–1910) was a French author and member of the Académie Goncourt. A habitué of Parisian literary circles, he was the author of numerous novels and plays, among them Carrot Top and Natural Histories. His Journal, widely considered his masterpiece, was published posthumously between 1925 and 1927.\nTheo Cuffe is known for his translations of classic French literature, including Voltaire’s Candide and Micromégas and Other Short Fictions.\nJulian Barnes is the Booker Prize–winning author of The Sense of an Ending and numerous other books.\nA wry, observant masterpiece―one of the singular treasures of the French fin de siècle\nWritten between the age of twenty-three and his death at age forty-six, Jules Renard’s Journal 1887–1910 is a triumph of introspection and wit. One of the most celebrated figures of Belle Époque Paris, Renard was also a prolific diarist whose private musings were first published in five volumes some fifteen years after his death. Acclaimed by everyone from Somerset Maugham to Samuel Beckett to Susan Sontag, the Journal has had a decisive influence on contemporary letters and was named one of the 100 Books of the Century by Le Monde. It is also a singularly funny work, full of aphorisms, jokes, and sly observations on some of literature’s most indelible characters.\nThese selections, brought together by Julian Barnes and translated by Theo Cuffe, offer unparalleled and unfailingly entertaining glimpses of a bygone world. Moving from modish Parisian salons to the French countryside, where Renard served as a provincial mayor in the final years of his life, the Journal is a portrait of a society in flux and a playground for one of the era’s great prose styles. Here, Renard confirms his place among France’s most dazzlingly inventive writers.</p>

<p>Spanning from 1887 to a month before his death in 1910, The Journal of Jules Renard is a unique autobiographical masterpiece that, though celebrated abroad and cited as a principle influence by writers as varying as Somerset Maugham and Donald Barthelme, remains largely undiscovered in the United States. Throughout his journal, Renard develops not only his artistic convictions but also his humanity, as he reflects on the nineteenth-century French literary and art scene and the emergence of his position as an important novelist and playwright in that world, provides aphorisms and quips, and portrays the details of his personal life-his love interests, his position as a socialist mayor of Chitry, the suicide of his father-which often appear in his work.</p>
