Publisher's Synopsis
As he strolls the streets of Paris' Fifteenth Arrondissement, Roger Caillois imagines the phantoms that inhabit the modern metropolis, drawing on everything from science fiction and the detective novel to urban mythology. A playful piece of surrealist flânerie and psychogeography, this guide represents a treasury of his diverse interests and an homage to the slice of Paris where he spent the better part of his life.
