"The journal Europe has just published two dossiers devoted respectively to the Goncourt Brothers and to Jules Renard (n° 1039-1040, Nov.-Dec. 2015). I would have liked to contribute to the second of these dossiers, especially since the edition of Poil de Carotte that I published at Pocket in 1990 is now out of print. Here is the preface, pending a very unlikely reissue."
