Double-Head (1927) is a bold narrative about stock-market manipulation, extrapolating the notion of technologically-aided telepathy while detailing a quest to rediscover the alchemists’ fabled philosopher’s stone.

The novel is sufficiently innovative and intelligent to transcend its deliberately popular format, has considerable imaginative substance, and deserves to be reckoned a significant contribution to the genre.

It is an interesting addendum to the literary career of one of the most intriguing dabblers in imaginative fiction to emerge during the turbulent fin-de-siècle in France.
