Paris 2015: André Baillon, Cimetière de Marly-le-roi (78) #1


'1875 – 1932
 
AU ROMANCIER
ANDRÉ BAILLON
SES AMIS.'
 
 
An impressive tribute to the brilliant Belgian-born novelist André Baillon, who after a number of aborted attempts killed himself in 1932. Adolphe Wansart (1873–1954) also made a bust of Baillon.

My other post on André Baillon, which includes my impressions on his novel Le Perce-oreille du Luxembourg, gives much more information on the man:
