Émile Erckmann and Alexandre Chatrian
This episode Mike and Will pop across the channel for some booze-heavy French/German shinanigans in ‘The White and the Black’ by Erckmann-Chartrian.
M.R. James says this writing partnership “produced some quite first-class romances”, but this tale of murder and mayhem is no love story!
Show notes:
