Pieyre de Mandiargues was an exceptional poet, essayist, storyteller, translator (notably of Octavio Paz and Mishima) and art critic. A great friend of the Surrealists, he maintained a lively literary correspondence with Paulhan and Ponge. In 1967, at the age of almost 60, he won the Goncourt for his novel La Marge.
In this novel, we follow the journey of 19-year-old Rebecca, on her magnificent Harley Davidson, as she leaves her husband Raymond in Strasbourg to join her lover Daniel in Heidelberg, Germany.
Beautifully bound.
