by Joanna Richardson
Zola was the most contentious novelist. His obscure provincial childhood, his impoverished years in Paris, his awareness of his humble origins: all made him eager to assert himself. He chose to impose himself on literature by his talent and his unremitting work, and by a shrewd use of publicity. The author of Nana, the early defender of Manet, the writer of J’accuse … was a publicist of rare disctinction.
