James Joyce was supposedly influenced by Dujardin's use of the 'interior monologue'. Whether this is true or not, WE'LL TO THE WOODS NO MORE remains a delightful story of a young man's love for a Parisian actress.
FROM THE PUBLISHER -
This book retains its importance as the first use of the monologue interieur and the inspiration for the stream-of-consciousness technique perfected by James Joyce. Dujardin's charming tale, told with insight and irony, recounts what goes on in the mind of a young man-about-town in love with a Parisian actress.
