Nana

Nana by Emile Zola

One of literature’s most famous courtesans, Nana embodies the moral, social, and political degradation of late-19th century France. And she’s dead sexy too. As the novel chronicles her rise and fall in Parisian society, it is also determined to “lay her bare,” so to speak. But Nana, whether nearly nude on the stage, or especially asleep in her bed, manages to elude complete depiction.
