Description
First published in France in 1937, this brilliant, moving novel is about the devastating psychological effects of war, about falling in love, about politics subverting human relationships, and about life in Paris during the early 1930s amid intellecturals and artists whose activities range from writing for radical magazines to conjuring the ghost of Lenin in seances. Raymond Queneau (1903-1976) has been one of the most powerful forces in shaping the direction of French fiction in the past fifty years. His other novels includes The Last Days, Pierrot Mon Ami, and Saint Glinglin.

This was instance whre it looked as if Three Stars was the destined outcome before the Author brought one back in stoppage time. Queneau shined when he pushed aside his scathing satire and exhibited honest insecurity and sentiment in the final 30 pages.
