From the library of G. Legman, who writes the following on the inside front
wrapper: “Surrealist eroticum. Very well written. Is attributed to RaymondQueneau – note monorhymes end chapter III – or Benjamin Péret. However,when I asked him (R. Q.) about it point blank he would neither admit nor
deny it. When I insisted, saying I was told it was a suppressed section or draft34

of [“Jackie”=] “Zazie dans le Metro,” he said “C’est qui qui vous a soufflé
tout cela monsieur Legman. C’est ce sacré Pia, sans doute.” [ Who told you all

this, Mr. Legman? It was that damn Pia, no doubt…] Is that tantamount to an
admission?? Date: Paris, 1958, pub. by Losfeld? NOT by Haumont, i.e. “J.
H.”! ” Legman adds a postscript: Aline G. told me the author was her fellow
surrealist-occultist Benjamin Péret, a wholly mad anti-religionist.” On the inside back wrapper Legman has written: “[Paris, 1958] [The initials J. H. on
cover and at head are a joke on Jacques Haumont who did NOT print or
publish this! Probably published by Eric Losfeld.” – Printed paper wrappers(the title within a green cross).
