on hindsight, i think i titled this pretty badly lol, i would edit it to be “forced him to finish writing the book” instead of “forced him to do anything but finish writing the book”, sorry. unfortunately reddit doesnt allow us to change the title

You just goofed the word "anything", should have used "nothing".

>...forced him to do nothing but finish writing the book

But I think we all figured it out

I noticed that but knew what you meant. Don’t worry, most people will get it.

They will, but this being Reddit I feel like without OP's early comment, we'd still have a comments section filled with titlegore comments.

Maybe. Doesn’t really matter tho. Those who get it, get it. Those who don’t, don’t. Those who title gore have tiny pee pees.

Do you have any sources on this other than the article linked? I couldn’t find anything on this doing a cursory google search in french. It is widely known he wrote it in a short amount of time due to his work on “Le dernier jour d’un condamné” and “Les orientales”. I just think it’s a great bit of trivia on Hugo, but would hate to disseminate something that I have found no real evidence of. I’ll keep looking though! I think I will hit my library for a good bio on Hugo in French.
