Onward Forward.
Although I would love to stay on the topic of Fathers and Sons, my syllabus calls for me to have read my next book within two days... and I like to blog while I read instead of just after.

I'm moving on to The Belly of Paris by Emile Zola. 

From the title and the cover of my book, it kind of sounds like it might be about food or Paris's marketplaces.
The back of my book says about Zola:
Emile Zola was born in Paris in 1840 and was raised at Aixen-Provence in a poor family. He began working as a clerk upon failing his baccalaureat but later decided to support himself by literature alone. Within the next few years, Zola published several of his great masterworks, includeing Therese Raquin and Madeleine Ferat. He also write a series of novels: Lew Rougon-Macquart which consists of 20 fictions intended to reveal the effects of heredity and environment on one family. Sounds interesting! The Belly of Paris is the third novel of that series.
Zola died in 1902.
