Accustomed to olfactory readings of nineteenth-century works, Clara Muller focuses here on the singular role of odors and the sense of smell in Les Chants de Maldoror. She details not only the nature of the scents evoked, but also the issues related to the act of smelling in a work that is intended to be penetrating and active and whose text itself is to be considered an effluvium.
