Eric Losfeld founded Éditions Le Terrain Vague in 1955. The publishing house was located at one time in rue de Verneuil, 14 - 16 Paris. It published the books of Benjamin Péret, Marcel Duchamp (Marchand du sel) and Boris Vian (Vercoquin et le plancton), erotic fiction such as Emmanuelle (1962), works on cinema and graphic novels. Literally, terrain vague means a piece of land in a city with no construction on it, a fallow land, a wasteland. According to Losfeld, André Breton came up with the name “Terrain Vague”.
