The Sponger - Jules Renard

Feeling self-conscious about my financial dependence as a student, I stumbled upon and bought The Sponger in a charity bookshop in Edinburgh two years ago in the hope of finding some solace in leeching money shamelessly. Jules Renard is most famous for a short autobiographical novel, Poil de Carotte, that depicts his sad childhood experiences of having both unloving parents and ginger hair, which I also bought there and then to take home to likewise gather dust on my bookshelf. According to its preface by Edward Hyams, The Sponger was voted as one of the twelve best French novels of the nineteenth century by a panel of prestigious French writers. I certainly enjoyed it because I am a sucker for simple plots and laconic narrative voices. The Sponger - Jules Renard. Robin Clark 1986. ISBN
