There is a wonderful brooding nineteenth century part and a bit further up the road (Boulevard du Hopital obviously) a horrible 1960's part. A smallish part of Sebastian Faulk's wonderful novel (aren't they all?)"Human Traces" is set there and features Charcot and one of his assistants Dr. Tourette as an historical background to the fiction a bit like this book it seems.david thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05692146122552088160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441164155286448763.post-91058556156574432016-07-29T11:40:43.236+01:002016-07-29T11:40:43.236+01:00Well, lawks!

Granted he was active a little later than the story is set, but his work is fascinating and strange. Definitely don't research him at work. For starters here is the Wilkapedia link for him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_Osman_Spare Horushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11286711154276098549noreply@blogger.com
