Finally, Monsieur Phosphore appears! Very present in Raymond Queneau's journal where he refers to it on numerous occasions as a work of the highest importance, this unfinished play from 1940 presents itself as a dramatized biblical fable. Four fallen angels and three archangels are on stage at the moment of the creation of man... Rivaling the creator is an angelic and cursed trinity (Lucifer, The Devil and Satan), a unique figure composed of three characters, assisted by the enigmatic Monsieur Phosphore, in the background, bearer of light, dedicated to humanity and reflection. Raymond Queneau has just broken with Breton and surrealism and this image of Creation coated in mythology announces both the Académie Goncourt and the Collège de 'Pataphysique... For the occasion, Jean-Marie Queneau created a series of drawings that accompany the text.
