«Les derniers jours» is the novel by Raymond Queneau, published by Gallimard in 1997 in paperback (232 pages, in French).
The novel follows students and elderly people living the last days of their youth or of lives weighed down by failure, while Alfred, a waiter fond of astrology, observes that disillusioned world with lucidity. With a caustic tone and absurd situations, the work makes death its dominant theme and combines parody and philosophical reflection.
«Les derniers jours» was originally published in 1936; this Gallimard edition belongs to the Folio collection and includes the complete text.
May appeal to readers of twentieth-century French fiction and to followers of Raymond Queneau.
Raymond Auguste Queneau was a French novelist, poet, critic, editor and co-founder and president of Oulipo, notable for his wit and cynical humour.
