Days And Nights

Jarry wrote his great visionary novel Day's an Nights when he was only 24, and it has much in common with the works of two other youthful geniuses: Rimbaud and Lautreamont. It's hero, an army conscript, uses various means to escape his intolerable everyday life. Eventually he is consumed by dreams, hallucinations, drug orgies. He abandons reality altogether and pursues a strange erotic quest: The Double.
