Men Stink of Far Cities: Translations from Jean Mariotti’s ‘Sans Titre’

Born in Farino, New Caledonia, in 1901, Jean Mariotti became that island’s foremost author of poetry, novels … and one children’s book, Les contes de Poindi (his only published English translation). Much of his adult life was spent in Paris, but he often returned to his island home for years at a time. Please read Le roi Nickel: Jean Mariotti en Nouvelle-CalĂ©donie, a terrific account of his life and work by Eddy BanarĂ© (in French only).
