Gabrielle Wittkop, Nikki Stafford, Jon Waldman and Stephen Laroche, Gabrielle Wittkop, translated by Don Bapst

?For more than three decades, Lucien - one of the most notorious characters in
the history of the novel - has haunted the imaginations of readers around the
world. Remarkably, the astounding protagonist of Gabrielle Wittkop's lyrical
1972 novella, The Necrophiliac, has never appeared in English until now.
This new translation introduces readers to a masterpiece of French literature,
striking not only for its astonishing subject matter but for the poetic beauty
of the late author's subtle, intricate writing. Like the best writings of
Edgar Allan Poe or Baudelaire, Wittkop's prose goes far beyond mere gothic
horror to explore the melancholy in the loneliest depths of the human
condition, forcing readers to confront their own mortality with an
unprecedented intimacy.
