- Summary
- "In Mark Axelrod's new book, marketplace crudity and the immortal artist intersect in a riotous and outrageous fashion. Discover the chain of restaurants run by Flaubert's researchers Bouvard and Pecuchet; how an iconic fragrance arose from the erectile dysfunction of J.S. Bach; where Octave Mirabeau consummated his masterpiece L'Erotic Biblion; General Pinochet and Borges's contretemps involving olive oil; Faulkner's stint tinkering with lawnmowers; Musil's muesli; and other secret histories. A companion to Axelrod's Borges's Travel, Hemingway's Garage (FC2), this book is an hilarious parody of literary trivia, a light-hearted satire on the commoditisation of art, and an irresistible, imaginative fancy."--Cover.
