Description: A comprehensive introduction to the short stories of renowned French fabulist Georges-Olivier Châteaureynaud.

Review Quotes:
"As weird as they are elegant, as delicious as they are unsettling, these fables place Châteaureynaud in the secret brotherhood that has only exemplars, no definition: Kafka, Bruno Schulz, Nathanael West, Aimee Bender. We are lucky indeed to have them, in a very skilled translation."
--John Crowley (Little, Big)

"These 22 curious tales verging on the perverse will strike new English readers of Châteaureynaud's work as a wonderful find. Beautiful prose featuring ingenuous protagonists and clever, unexpected forays into horror are the hallmarks of these mischievous stories."
--Publishers Weekly
