Más información sobre el libro
Set during the winter of 1942-1943 and revealed in 1966, "Trouble in the Swaths" is Boris Vian's first novel, an original and fully realized narrative driven by the dynamic power of language. This work exemplifies Vian's unique linguistic universe, blending absurd terror, humorous detective work, and farcical espionage. The story is propelled by words that intertwine, confuse, and unravel the plot, making readers laugh with their playful antics. Vian embodies multiple characters who chase each other from Auteuil to Borneo, swimming through rivers of toad blood and joyfully killing one another over a mysterious device known as the forked barbarin. It is a tale that Vian crafted for himself, as he could not find it in the pages of another's book.
