from The Seated Woman
by Guillaume Apollinaire, translated from the French by Richard KostelanetzAs far I can find, Apollinaire’s posthumously published novel has not before appeared in English. Indeed rarely acknowledged, La Femme assise is not mentioned at all in thick Apollinaire books by, say, Francis Steegmuller and Margaret Davies.
