      Synopsis

      Pot Luck, Zola's most acerbic satire, describes daily life in a newly constructed block of flats in late nineteenth-century Paris. In examining the contradictions that pervade bourgeois life, Zola reveals a multitude of betrayals and depicts a veritable 'melting pot' of moral and sexual degeneracy. This new translation captures the robustness of Zola's language and restores the omissions of earlier abridged versions.

      July 12, 2009: This is among my favorite of Zola's books. The cast of characters is complex and as a bonus we meet Mouret from Ladies Paradise before he becomes successful. Highly readable - sometimes Zola is overly detailed and the story drags, but not here.
