«Le deuil des roses» is the short story collection by André Pieyre de Mandiargues published by Gallimard in paperback (192 pages, in French).
The story that opens the volume brings together four young Japanese women who kidnap a Parisian and turn him into a spectator of a strange and sumptuous funeral ceremony. The tales move from the familiar to the fantastic, with an eroticism tinged with puritanism and a visual prose combining sensuality, death and symbolism.
The work was published in 1983 in Gallimard's Blanche collection and its subtitle is «nouvelles».
Suitable for readers of French fiction and short stories with an interest in the fantastic and the erotic.
André Pieyre de Mandiargues was a French writer born in Paris. He became an associate of the Surrealists and married the Italian painter Bona Tibertelli de Pisis. He was a particularly close friend of the painter Leonor Fini.
