Abstract
This essay looks at two postwar novels published in Paris under the pseudonym Sally Mara. The novels—On est toujours trop bon avec les femmes and Journal intime—are both by Raymond Queneau, a former Surrealist and later founder of the experimental literary workshop, the Oulipo. Both novels are pornographic pulp fiction, but both also exhibit a profound and playful debt to Joyce. The essay argues that, while the first novel explicitly draws on Ulysses, borrowing its characters and pitching them into the Easter Uprising, the second owes a subtler debt to A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man since it tells the story of its fictionalized author's literary and sexual coming of age in Dublin.
