«Mascarets» is a book of short stories by French writer André Pieyre de Mandiargues, published by Gallimard in paperback (200 pages, in French).
The title refers to the «mascaret», the wave that advances against the current, and also to the story that closes the volume. In the eight narratives, love, desire, dream and death cross paths in Paris, Venice, Normandy or southern Spain and Italy, where the erotic and the fantastic coexist with a realistic mystery.
Originally published in 1971, it belongs to the Le Chemin collection of the nrf imprint of Gallimard; the cover presents it as «récits».
For fans of twentieth-century French literature and of fantastic and erotic narrative, and for followers of André Pieyre de Mandiargues.
André Pieyre de Mandiargues was a French writer born in Paris. He became an associate of the Surrealists and married the Italian painter Bona Tibertelli de Pisis. He was a particularly close friend of the painter Leonor Fini.
