A Slight Addendum to a Small Mystery on Maurice DeKobra
Posted: March 23rd, 2016 | No Comments »Just a small correction – possibly of no interest to anyone but myself. In May 2014 I wondered which book Graham Greene was referring to in his 1936 novel A Gun for Sale when he refers to a book called His Chinese Concubine. I managed to identify it as an English translation of a Maurice Dekobra novel, but got the wrong one. I said it was Tu Seras Courtisane (1927), but it is in fact Madame Joli-Supplice (1935). A little obscure perhaps, but now you know…and so do I…..the covers give it away really!
