About the Author
Eccentric writer Raymond Roussel was born in Paris, France in 1877. Although Roussel's works are very difficult to translate due to the complexity of their wordplay and his own attempts to translate them to the stage failed, he had a strong influence on a group of experimental Parisian writers mostrar mais known as OuLiPo, and on artists such as Salvador Dali and Marcel Duchamp. He died in Palermo, Italy in 1933. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

This book is very strange. I began reading it from page 1 and found it to be incredibly boring as it was descriptions of events and spectacles in minutiae - rather like directions for repairing appliances. I returned to Goodreads to see what was going on and discovered that the book could be started at Chapter 10. I switched to that format and the book became a bit more interesting and linked what was in the first nine chapters with the persons from the second half of the book.
