| (WENZ, PAUL). Paul Wenz: Sa Vie - Son Oeuvre. Boulogne-Billancourt: La Petite Maison, 1998.  ¶ Features biographical and bibliographical details of the life and work of Paul Wenz by Jean-Paul Delamotte; as well as two texts by Wenz: on his friendship with the Australian writer Jack London, and the acquisition of his outback station Nanima on the Lachlan. To quote the National Library Of Australia "Arguably the most important French writer to live and work in Australia was Paul Wenz (1869- 1939). Born into a family of wool merchants in Reims and educated in Paris, Wenz settled on a pastoral property between Forbes and Cowra in the 1890s and began writing stories set in Australia and the Pacific. These were later published in the collections entitled A l'autre bout du monde (1905) and Sous la croix du sud (1910). These were followed by the novella, Diary of a New Chum (1908), his only book in English, and the novels Le pays de leurs pères (1919), Le jardin des coraux (1929) and L'écharde (1931). This remarkable man who was a friend of Miles Franklin and Dorothea Mackellar, and also André Gide (with whom he went to school) and Jack London, lies buried in Forbes, New South Wales, where he died in 1939. His most fitting memorial, thanks to the efforts of Jean-Paul Delamotte's 'Editions La Petite Maison', is the fact that virtually all of his books remain in print in French.
