A novel by this author includes the chapter "Swearwords," in which the narrator tells his friend Barque that he will record things as they happened, saying "I'll put the swearwords in, because it's the truth." Colin Wilson's The Outsider begins by discussing how the concept of the outsider is typified by a character created by this author who observes people through a hole in the wall of his room in a boarding house. This Esperantist is best remembered for a novel in which characters like Paradis, Volpatte, and Corporal Bertrand make up the subtitular (*) "squad."
