Paperback. Tells the story of a dreamer on a journey of self-discovery. This novel is a hybrid of love story, tragedy, and farce, with a protagonist who sweet-talks teaspoons, flirts with important politicians, plays maidservant to young boys, and uses a passer-by's mouth as an ashtray. It aims to spoof the stiff-upper-lipped European petit bourgeois. Translator(s): Bernofsky, Susan (Assistant Professor, Bard College, USA). Num Pages: 141 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: FA. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 204 x 130 x 11. Weight in Grams: 174.
