A unique work whose surrealism is one of horror rather than the marvelous, the book represents a dark prelude to the revolutionary spirit of May 1968 in France, a piercingly sinister flipside to the premise of one's desires being taken for reality. One morning, the Sunday Quicksands Excursion Company bus stops outside the professional excursionist SchrummSchrumm's building. His registration application having been accepted, SchrummSchrumm lets himself be stripped down, smeared with catechumenal balm for hallucination protection, manacled to armrests and blindfolded for the journey to the distant walled city of Misunderstanding. It is there that SchrummSchrumm will undergo a series of increasingly absurd ritualistic initiations under the supreme rule of Abocketaback as he prepares for the incessantly forestalled excursion to the Quicksands on the city's outskirts.Fernand Combet (1936-2003) wrote five books over 20 years. Though his first book was celebrated when released in 1966, Combet's lack of interest in a literary career, his thirst for travel and his pursuit of isolation led him to die largely forgotten.…

Couverture souple. Condition: Très bon. #Broché : 352 pages #Parution : mars 2006 #Résumé : Publié il y a quarante ans par Jean-Jacques Pauvert, SchrummSchrumm, premier roman de Fernand Combet, fut, dès sa parution, salué comme un livre important. En témoignent quelques extraits de la critique en 1966 : "Combet a écrit un beau livre tranquillement féroce, où l'air devient irrespirable. Un livre important, aussi, dont on n'a pas fini d'épuiser les significations, les mines." André Hardellet. "Fernand Combet s'inscrit dans la lignée où se comptent quelques-uns des écrivains les plus originaux de notre époque. Il fait songer à Kafka et à ses personnages prisonniers d'un système auquel on ne peut échapper." Kléber Haedens, Candide. "Le tort de SchrummSchrumm, c'est de n'avoir pas abdiqué toute pensée. Dans un monde mécanique et magique, il a conservé un esprit logique : c'est un damné, dont Combet vient de décrire l'enfer." Bernard Gros, À livre ouvert. "Le monde n'est qu'un "malentendu" entre la nécessité et la liberté, la logique et l'absurde, la mort et la vie. En sortant du monde, est ce qu'on peut trouver le bonheur, la paix ? Est-ce qu'on ne sombrera pas, en parvenant aux derniers rivages, au néant ?" Philippe Senart, Combat. "Fernand Combet dépasse, transgresse tous les modes d'écriture symbolique." Georges Anex, Journal de Genève. "Issu d'une imagination que certains jugeront sans nul doute délirante, SchrummSchrumm paraîtra peut-être à quelques-uns extrêmement irritant. Pour nous, il s'agit du roman le plus original qu'il nous ait été donné de lire depuis longtemps." Annette Colin-Simard, Le journal du dimanche.…
