Streetcorners: Prose Poems of the Demi-Monde

Francis Carco

Translated from the French and with an Introduction
by Gilbert Alter-Gilbert

Masterworks of Fiction (1911-1912)

Streetcorners collects, for the first time in English, a number of Francis Carco’s renowned prose poems, works which defined the Paris scenes of Montmartre and Montparnasse for decades. The translator has brought together sixty pieces that reflect everything from rainy nights in Paris, to the world of music halls, seedy bars, the hairdresser’s, and houses of prostitution.
