Homes are destroyed to lay the lines, which turn out to lead nowhere. In part a satire on the reconstruction of postwar Paris, Vian's novel also conjures a darker version of Alice in Wonderland .

Seller's Description:
Like New. Clean, sound, gently read softcover. Top fore-edge corner mildly bumped. Elsewise overall fine. Originally published as L'Automne ŕ Pékin in 1947 by Éditions du Scorpion. Reissued in 2nd edition 1956 by Éditions de Minuit. L'Automne ŕ Pékin was highly regarded by critics, but never sold well. As far as I can tell there was no English edition until 2005 when this Paul Knobloch translation was issued in this paperback edition. Currently the most widely available edition is a German language translation, Herbst in Peking, published in 2018 by Wagenbach Klaus.
