Praise for Palafox :
"Beautiful. . . . Very amusing. . . . Chevillard takes real narrative risks. . . . A must for anyone interested in anti-realist fiction."--Rain Taxi Review of Books

The characters in Prehistoric Times remind us of the inhabitants of Samuel Beckett's world: dreamers who in their savage and deductive folly try to modify reality. In an entirely original voice--full of burlesque variations, accelerations, and ruptures--Eric Chevillard asks luminous and playful questions about who we really are.

Winner of the 2003 Prix Wepler for Le Vaillant petit tailleur , Eric Chevillard is one of the most inventive authors writing in French today. He is also the author of On the Ceiling , The Crab Nebula , and Demolishing Nisard.
