Product Description
Book Description
"The complement to the Ubu plays… a stupendous effort to create out of the ruins Ubu had left behind a new system of values… Jarry would have found an audience more readily had he written simply a work of science fiction, a symbolist narrative, a bawdy tale, or a spiritual allegory. As it is, Faustroll is [all of these] at the same time" — Roger Shattuck, author of The Banquet Years

This is a fantastic book!
I bought it here from amazon.com a number of years ago, 97 or 98 and I finally read it this past week. I don't want to give anything away, because it is so utterly unique and enjoyable....However, I will say: Track down this book! Demand it!
If you are a lover of the works or just plain amazing style of one of the 20th century's greatest literary artists... William Burroughs(!), then you will LOVE THIS BOOK! Heck, You'll ADORE it.
This is a trip by boat, on land... an adventure far more exciting than the Odyssey, but perhaps among similiar lines...
A journey from a middle point in life, to the extents of certain existences... and, to death... and beyond.. Finally, you will see why it started in the middle of life!
The climax is amazing, and every scene comes across like the greatest film never made.
Dali was definately influenced, as a number of scenes in here look like what Dali was to later paint!
In the end though I found myself saying only,
"Ha, ha."
And I did not lose myself in further considerations.
Except that, I would like to close by saying something I found very important, and dare I say, Life Changing:
In the words of the Butt-faced Baboon, "Ha Ha!"
