I was surprised as well, but just because apparently there is
a translation of one of his novels. Francis Carco, author and
poet, was especially known for his "romans de mauvais
garcons", depicting pimps, small time outlaws..etc in novels
published in literary collections. His style was "near
populist", with realist settings (for the thirties in
France0. The most famous of his novels was: Jesus La Caille.
Carco was a successful author in pre WW2 France and until the
early 50's. Carco died in 1958.
As for Perversity, I do not know which original novel is
translated under that title (anybody got the book?)

This is a rather well known fact about her works. I did not
read it however.
