BRAU, Jean-Louis. Le Singe Appliqué. Paris: Bernard Grasset. 1972.
8vo. Soft cream covers titled to front cover and spine, edges untrimmed; pp. 380, [4]; slight sunning to covers and spine, wearing to edges of cover, toning to edges of text block; very good.
Inscribed limited edition.
This copy is numbered “HC II” making it one of fourteen non-commerce copies. It is inscribed, very humorously, by the author in black ink to the half title page to the typographical proof-reader Jacqueline Papelard.
This book nearly won Brau the Renaudot Prize in 1972. It relates the incredible life of Jean Louis Brau, in a style which mixes Louis-Ferdinand Céline’s and that of the Beat Generation, which Brau was instrumental for introducing to France. The book starts with the remembrance of Brau’s Lettrist period in the early fifties in Saint Germain-des-Prés before joining the Indochina War as a volunteer before going on to set up war brothels…
