Portrait en pied de Suzanne (1978) is a book by Roland Topor.
It has been translated as Head-to-Toe Portrait of Suzanne by Atlas Press.
English blurb:
Head-to-Toe Portrait of Suzanne tells of an isolated, misanthropic narrator and his encounter with the beautiful Suzanne, an old flame from his past. It is at once a fable, a love story of enormous tenderness and a tale of increasingly unpleasant events that culminate in horror and atrocity. With its distinct blend of sympathetic cynicism and grotesquerie, Head-to-Toe Portrait of Suzanne―Topor’s first work to be translated into English in half a century―offers an ideal introduction to the work and worldview of an artist currently undergoing a major reassessment and rediscovery in his home country and beyond.
