Translators Aloud has shared a video of R J Dent reading from his English translation of the Marquis de Sade’s Stories, Tales, and Fables, published by Contra Mundum Press.

The excerpt R J Dent reads is from Some Thoughts on the Novel, a long essay by Sade that is part literary criticism and part writing advice.
