Reception
Somerset Maugham wrote of Renard's Journal: "The journal is wonderfully good reading. It is extremely amusing. It is witty and subtle and often wise...Jules Renard jotted down neat retorts and clever phrases, epigrams, things seen, the sayings of people and the look of them, descriptions of scenery, effects of sunshine and shadow, everything, in short, that could be of use to him when he sat down to write for publication."[5]
It was ranked #74 in Le Monde's 100 Books of the Century.[6]
