«La hierba roja» is the novel by Boris Vian published by Bruguera in hardcover (178 pages, in Spanish).
Engineer Wolf and his assistant, mechanic Lazuli, build a time machine to return to their childhood and rid themselves of the errors and obsessions that torment him, hoping to be happy; inquisitorial forces oppose them. It is an intimate and barely burlesque work by Boris Vian, with echoes of his personal life.
The novel was originally published in 1950 as «L'herbe rouge»; this 1980 Bruguera edition is number 19 in the Club Bruguera collection, with a translation by Jordi Martí.
For readers of twentieth-century French literature and fantasy fiction, and for those seeking an intimate work by Boris Vian.
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.
