This guide to the Maison des mémoires in Carcassonne follows Joë Bousquet, a young lieutenant of the First World War, from a battlefield on the Aisne in May nineteen eighteen to a shuttered room on the Rue de Verdun. Along the way come opium, poets and novelists, and the surrealist painters of the interwar years. Best heard standing at the door of his bedroom.
