The ninth novel in Zola's Rougon-Macquart series, "Nana," is a book all about slut-shaming. A prostitute named Nana, infused with the corruption of "rampant female sexuality," is depicted as being solely responsible for the entire downfall of French society.
Definitely won't be reading that one.
F*cking patriarchy.

An excellent, informative read. And so very short that I was able to read this entire book twice in one week.
Five stars.

A very good book, and dense enough that I read the first 58 pages twice before continuing on.
As to the Franco-Prussian War of 1870: wow, what a shitshow. I have never studied that war before, especially in regards to the revolutionary Commune in Paris that was brutally suppressed by the monarchists/royalists/Versailles government. Over 25,000 Parisians were killed by government troops when they retook the city.

Very interesting read.
I doubt I will ever read Zola's novel, "The Belly of Paris." But it was fascinating to read about it.
I skipped to the chapter on Zola's novel, "Germinal," next. But I'll go back and read the chapters I skipped over afterwards.
