Black Scat Review 1

November 28th, 2012 · No Comments

The first issue of Black Scat Review is now out!  Among its interesting contents is my translation of “The Man in the Iron Mask,” by Pierre-Henri Cami.  Cami is now mostly forgotten by English readers, but he once published in Vanity Fair and was lauded by Chaplin.  He specialized in fast-moving, gag-driven playlets; he’s sometimes called “the French Tex Avery.”  You can order a copy (and see a preview) here.  Warning: there’s a naked lady on the cover, so don’t click if you’re somewhere hostile to birthday suits.
