One of this man's novels shows the marriage and finances of Gervaise and Coupeau fall apart after Coupeau becomes an abusive drunk, leading their daughter to flee the home into prostitution. A later novel titled after that daughter depicts her rise from streetwalker to operetta actress who destroys the men who desire her. Those novels, L'Assomoir and Nana are part of this author's Rougon-Macquart cycle, which also includes Germinal. For 10 points, name this French novelist who wrote a defense of Albert Dreyfus, the inflammatory "J'Accuse."
