Book Description:
|
Poetic, comic, obsessed with minutiae, My Beautiful Bus is a welcome dose of serious frivolity at the expense of the contemporary novel. Based on an actual bus trip across France taken by Oulipo-member Jacques Jouet, this fictional reconstruction focuses not so much on the scenery as on the possibilities offered an author by the eponymous vehicle and its occupants.
