Under a full moon, I would howl:
Balzac is the French Dawn Powell
For fans of the serious novel
Let me put these words in order:
Dawn Powell is Honore de Balzac's
Literary grand-daughter.
This laughing-stock was the retired vermicelli merchant,
Father Goriot, upon whose face a painter, like the historian,
would have concentrated all the light in his picture.
Honore Balzac
Pere Goriot
The next Dawn Powell page–with more Balzac–is here.
