Although first published in 1941, Madame Jatzkowa remained pupular in E.M. Querido's Salamander series for several decades. Aar van de Werfhorst was mainly active as an author between 1932 and 1956, and his works were particularly popular after the war.
Madame Jatzkowa is a short novel about prostitution. The poetic style and the understated interaction and events, typical of "Nieuwe Zakelijkheid" obscure the main theme, that only slowly filters through.
