Paria Korigan Tales of the Luçotte. "Paria Korigan" pseudonym of Céline Joséphine Bidard from La Noë 1882: Récits de la Luçotte (Calmann Lévy, excerpts published in La Nouvelle Revue: May 1, 1881; July 1, 1881) 323 full pages. First edition Is it invention, or is it only memory?... But here is a book that has no literary pretensions, and which is indeed the rarest and tastiest thing in literature! It is a naive book and almost of genius's ingenuity... And yet it is the work of a woman, in spite of the masculinity of the name under which she has hidden her gender. And yet, here is the only criticism I have to make of this book of such naturalness: it is not being signed naturally with the name of the woman who wrote it. At the very least, if she wanted to play this little mystery of the "pseudonym" that we always perceive, [p. 342] it was necessary to attach a woman's name to this so feminine composition.
