His novelist's eye and sense of humor did not desert him as he observed the bizarre society of his fellow patients at curative spas, nor did his generosity and compassion for them and for his friends and family. In Julian Barnes's crystalline translation, Daudet's notes comprise a record--at once shattering, haunting, and beguiling--of both the banal and the transformative realities of physical suffering.…
