Edited by Alastair Brotchie & Paul Edwards The second of a two volume collection of the works of Jarry which now makes all the works of this major author available in English. This volume contains all his major novels apart from Dr Faustus' and 'The Supermale.' Astonishing explorations of eroticism and metaphysics, memory and ennui, dream and everyday life, Jarry's novels compare to only two of his predecessors: Rimbaud and Lautreamont. His humour, black and eloquent, combines with a literary style that was one of the foremost influences on French writing.'
