Cousin Pons. Part Two of 'Poor Relations', Paperback

Pons is an ageing musician, and believes that fame has fallen to nothing. Living with his friend, he maintains only two passions: a devotion to fine dining in the company relatives, and a dedication to the collection of antiques. This novel concerns French urban society: a cynical, pessimistic but never despairing consideration of human nature.
