by Alain Borer.
The first book that looked primarily at Rimbaud's African years. It was groundbreaking work at the time. Its basic thesis, however, that Rimbaud was a failed businessman during these African ventures was, essentially discredited by the later work done by Charles Nicholl in his very excellent Somebody Else: Rimbaud In Africa.
Nevertheless, this is an essential book if you are even remotely interested in Rimbaud's non-poet life.
