Witch Grass by Raymond Queneau

The Bark Tree

In this whimsical and surreal narrative, the ordinary life of a Parisian office worker is turned upside down when he discovers a mysterious plant growing in his apartment. As the plant's presence becomes increasingly intrusive, it begins to influence his thoughts and actions, leading him on a bizarre journey through the city. Along the way, he encounters a cast of eccentric characters, each with their own peculiarities and stories, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. This tale explores themes of existentialism, the absurdity of life, and the unexpected ways in which mundane events can transform our perception of the world.
