There is a new book about Zola coming out in 2017. The Disappearance of Emile Zola: Love, Literature and the Dreyfus Case by Michael Rosen will be published by Faber on 5 January, and you can read the author’s summation of it at The Guardian.
Update 18/2/21 Jonathan has reviewed this book here.
The Books of Émile Zola 
Thanks for the heads-up on this, Lisa! It sounds much more comprehensive than With Zola in England, which is basically a charming memoir. http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/10670

I’ve contacted Faber to ask them for a review copy!

It’s not even January and yet seeing this news means my committment to read what I already have for the first six months, is wavering.

Thanks for letting us know Lisa, it looks like an interesting book. I have read the Vizetelly memoir that Dagny linked to.

Dear old Vizetelly, according to the Guardian article he was the one who helped Zola when he fled. Can we imagine a publisher doing that for, say, a Chinese or Iranian émigré?
