(From the dust jacket)
"In My Revolution, Alex Karmel has brought to life a fascinating man and a turbulent era with absolute authenticity and wry humor. The six decisive years are seen through Restif's eyes, his private concerns interwoven with the great upheaval. Always personal, the narrative shows the development of a revolutionary sensibility. In his more intimate revelations, Restif, the "Nocturnal Spectator", displays a frankness that reminds us that sex, like revolution, is not a twentieth-century invention."
