Beskrivning
First published in France in 1937, this brilliant, moving novel is about the devastating psychological effects of war, about falling in love, about politics subverting human relationships, and about life in Paris during the early 1930s amid intellecturals and artists whose activities range from writing for radical magazines to conjuring the ghost of Lenin in seances. Raymond Queneau (1903-1976) has been one of the most powerful forces in shaping the direction of French fiction in the past fifty years. His other novels includes The Last Days, Pierrot Mon Ami, and Saint Glinglin.

Recensioner i media

"A marvelous sendup of the Surrealists of the late 1920s and early 1930s as well as a moving love story...Both a madcap roman a clef... and a parable about the search for spiritual equilibrium and human meaning." -- Kirkus "Written in a cool detached style, full of witticisms and puns, this is Queneau at his most accessible." -- PW
