Reviews
"The book's twenty or so illustrations have been curated with great care, and Kaplan contextualizes his choices in the Preface. Manet, Delacroix, Daumier and Whistler are joined by other artists whose work characterizes the lives of the flamboyant as much as the forgotten, and their works' monochrome reproduction suits the moods and the settings of the book. Regardless of the reader's knowledge of Baudelaire's writing, The Parisian Prowler is a unique reinvention of a classic, and an enticing read." - Pulsar Poetry Webzine
