A children 's book was recently published in France based on excerpts from the works of the even trendier and more arcane Gilles Deleuze , the late French philosopher and celebrated author of Anti-Oedipus . The author is Jacqueline Duhame , a former model for Henri Matisse and pal of Paul Eluard , Pablo Picasso , and Raymond Queneau .
Last year , 3000 children 's books were published in France .
