How disappointing that the Palace Brothers song "Meaulnes" seems to bear absolutely no relation to the great novel Le Grand Meaulnes, known to such as have no French as The Wanderer and known to me as an old Anchor Books paperback with an excellent cover by Edward Gorey (which is actually in color).
I think I would add J. L. Carr's A Month in the Country to the Guardian writer's list of novels with a similar effect.
