Description:Pull Devil, Pull Baker is likely the oddest book you will ever read. In the Free Hospital in Hong Kong, the novelist Stella Benson met Count Nicolas de Toulouse Lautrec de Savine, an aged and penniless Russian nobleman who proclaimed himself a Knight of Malta and the ex-Tsar of Bulgaria. 'Send news of my stay here to the newspapers,' he instructed her. 'It will make Grand Sansation.'Over the next months, Benson collected the Count's memoirs, written in his unique slang, telling of his life of 'hyg adventure and hyg romance': gambling in Warsaw; escaping from a prison in Siberia; hunted by the secret police across Europe; prospecting for gold in California; attempting a coup in Bulgaria; and throughout, flitting like a butterfly from 'pretty gerl to pretty gerl'.What Benson then did with these recollections is what makes Pull Devil, Pull Baker so strikingly original. She entered into a dialogue with the text that opens questions about memory, truth, and whether anything can truly be considered non-fiction. Pull Devil, Pull Baker anticipates today's autofictions by decades -- and tells an irresistably fascinating story in the bargain.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
