The Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Apartments (or Back Rooms) By Jules Romains Kindle Edition The Three Hundred and Sixty Five Apartments (or Back Rooms) About the Author Romains’ writings are little read in English speaking countries these days. It’s understandable given that his major work is a twenty seven volume novel cycle that features hundreds of characters. Men of Good Will, from which this excerpt is taken, was his attempt to recreate the era of French society that existed from 1908 to 1933. The story of the three hundred and sixty five apartments takes place in Paris around 1919, however its chief concern is with a secret supposedly lost to time. That the main conceit of the story may have been suggested to Romains by the surrealist Louis Aragon hints at the possibility that it was actually thrown into Men of Good Will as a hoax, a modernist concoction intended to have the feel of established lore. Laurent Merceron, Associate Editor, Lapham’s Quarterly About the Author: Jules Romains, a founder of the literary movement Unanimism, published his twenty seven volume novel cycle Men of Good Will from 1932 to 1946. “He proves himself to be a political innocent,” wrote Lewis Mumford of an article Romains published in The Saturday Evening Post in 1940, “or what is worse, an outright jackass.” Romains was international president of PEN from 1938 to 1941, and he was elected to the French Academy in 1946. About the Guest Editor: Lapham’s Quarterly embodies the belief that history is the root of all education, scientific and literary as well as political and economic.
