Summary:

This 1922 novel is one of the most entertaining works of Surrealist fiction. Aragon parodied a seventeenth-century epic which recounts the adventures of Telemachus, Ulysses's son, removing its moralistic underpinnings and replacing it with a Surrealist's dedication to the strange and beautiful.
