Description for The Small Rooms of Paris
Hardback. [no imprint], USA, post 1967. . Small-format paperback in very fine condition, contents in mint condition. In The Small Rooms of Paris we are given the classic fantasy: the pimp as hero. No Eastern schmalz about harems, and the like. This is businessman's stuff. Done with a poet's eyes. For de Richarnaud sees in the lower depths that peculiar lunacy, that wonderful smack of contradiction which makes for the dramatis personae of the world. Who will be able to forget little Titu, for example, who would rather go to the Louvre or to l'Opera than work the streets, and who combines that lovely artistic side of the woman with her own most fragile and delicate abominations. And who will be able to forget the final scene in the work, wherein King the Pimp 'gets his' at the hands of the woman he has betrayed; but 'gets his' in the sort of way that leaves that lingering taste of 'good show' in the imagination.
