From: book reviews Category: Books Date: 29 January 2007 Time: 06:40 AM Review: This is big in France apparently. From the time of Sartre. Nice title. Good, Surrealist narrative. Nice to realise that whatever can be said will be believed when written. Nice that sentences explode into absurdity. Common phrases thunder out of banality. Vian says the best things in life are pretty girls and jazz. Which dates him. What if you read this and you're an ugly rocking woman, it's going to alienate you. Still the gastonomy is delightful and the vision, which is said to have inspired 68, of evil work, cautionary and right. ON.
