About this title: With both text and photographs by Brassaï, this memoir documents the after-hours Paris with which he was fascinated all his life--the bars, clubs, bordellos, and opium dens, and the people he encountered in them on his late-night wanderings in the city.

"A fascinating walk through various Parisian underworlds - the bordellos and opium dens and Folies-Bergere are to be expected, but I love how the cesspool cleaners and the sans domicile fixe are included for a truly complete portrait, people who aren't as glamorous but a definite part of the nightscape. It's accompanied by Brassai talking about coming into these places and how he was welcomed - or threatened, or ripped off - by his intended subjects, and he's warm rather than sensationalistic in recounting the backdrops and etiquettes and biographical sketches of the local characters. Seediness recast as some kind of wonderous dream - lovely."
"If you love photography from the first half of the 20th century, such as Weegee and co, then make a beeline for this book. As Paris is my favourite city anyway, taking the trip back in time to Brassai's city is a real treat."
"I hunted this out-of-print book down after months of searching, only to see it reprinted a year later. A must-have for fans of Henry Miller, this collection of photos from Parisian brothels and streetscapes reveals a world of decadence and sin that seems relatively tame by contrast with today's overt sexual imagery."
