Identifier: CC-33235-34865
Scope and Contents

Guyotat writes in a style of stream of consciousness without structured sentences in obscene, harsh, descriptive language. There are no periods ending sentences; only semi-colons, commas and dashes are employed as punctuation marks. The book was banned in France for eleven years. The novel is a collection of phrases. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
