A review by ichirofakename
The Flood by Émile Zola

2.0

For completists (like me) only. Very slight, likely juvenalia, or senilia. It's been a while, but I don't recall Zola anywhere else using 1st person narration. Reminiscent of actual Zola. Despite my recent conclusion that translation of straightforward prose between similar languages is not a problem, I do wonder about this particular translation. I can't remember reading Zola in English, though presumably I read a volume or two before '93. Stilted.
