Une chose est sûre, dans les Halles j'y étais, et c'est tout ce que j'attends de zola, en plus de cette perversité à dépendre des personnages odieux et des machinations atrocement cruelles. On aime détester ces gens.

Most of the book is food descriptions and descriptions of people that look like the food they sell, but it did have a real nice condemnation of the bourgeois so I'm here for it.
