Paul Valéry's 'Monsieur Teste' is one of the great literary inventions -- see, for example, the Princeton University Press publicity page for their volume of Teste-work, or get your copy at Amazon.com.
Jean Louis Schefer has now published the slim volume of Monsieur Teste à l'école; see the P.O.L. publicity page, or get your copy at Amazon.fr; see also Pierre Assouline's discussion at his La république des livres weblog.
Sounds promising -- I wonder who will take it on in English.
