Description
A frenzied variation on the pulp stories of the American hardboiled school presents Boris Vian as a kind of Tarantino from Saint-Germain-des-Prés. As an unwitting precursor of postmodernism, Vian offers a plethora of zany ideas, entertaining absurdity, linguistic playfulness, and razor-sharp humor in this lowbrow crime story. Throughout, he never forgets to conspiratorially wink at informed readers that none of this should be taken too seriously. Thanks to the brilliant translation by Patrik Ouředník and original visual compositions, we have the opportunity to experience a unique comic trip – an experience that alters perception and expands awareness of the hardboiled genre, as well as the possibilities of storytelling itself.
