In this second novel published under his pen name, Romain Gary tries his hand at economic and political criticism, varying in tone from comic to cynical. In a 1970 letter, General de Gaulle wrote to the author: "In Tulip you paint - admirably - this main trait of our time that everything is close to everything: idealism and cynicism, apostolate and smoke and mirrors, pain and sneer. I am happy with your talent and always sensitive to your thoughts."
