Originally published in 1953, HEARTSNATCHER is crammed with eccentrics, among them Timortis, a psychiatrist whose own dull life prompts him to appropriate the dreams of his more interesting patients, and a paranoid housewife named Clementine who almost literally smothers her triplets with maternal devotion. The novel is French writer Boris Vian's last before his death in 1959.   less
