Autumn in Peking by Boris Vian, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Autumn in Peking takes place in an imaginary desert called Exopotamie, where a train station and a railway line are under construction. 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. | Autumn in Peking by Boris Vian, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
