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 .
In France , it is illegal to publish children 's books , which explains why the book based on the works of Gilles Deleuze , was instead released in Italy .
