«El otoño en Pekín» is Boris Vian's comic and surrealist novel, published by Maxi-Tusquets in paperback (264 pages, in Spanish).
Amadís Dudu misses the bus one morning and ends up in the Exopotamia desert, where he meets picturesque characters and gets involved in an absurd railway project. Neither Beijing nor autumn appear in the plot: the novel is a delirious comedy in which nothing quite fits and beneath which love and death lurk.
Work originally published in 1947 as «L'Automne à Pékin»; this edition is number 40 of the Maxi collection.
For those seeking absurd humor, satire and surrealist narrative in Boris Vian's work.
Boris Vian was a French polymath who is primarily remembered for his novels. Those published under the pseudonym Vernon Sullivan were bizarre parodies of criminal fiction, highly controversial at the time of their release owing to their unconventional outlook.
