Read full description of the books:

“Mix together one pinch of surrealism, one pinch of ‘situationalism,’ stir in a large measure of poetry, quite a bit of talent and you will get a glittering novel of intelligence and humor.”—Révolution

Eric Chevillard’s third novel of 11, Palafox explores the ecosystem of an unclassifiable yet enchanting protean creature. A team of “experts” armed with degrees of higher learning is determined to label, train, baptize and realize the elusive creature, while Palafox—driven by his own interior logic and flanked by another dimension—effortlessly and wordlessly defies them all. Chevillard’s visionary play (of word and thought) has been compared to the work of Beckett, Michaux and Pinget, yet the universe he spins is utterly his own.

Read information about the author

Éric Chevillard is a French novelist. He has won awards for several novels including La nébuleuse du crabe in 1993, which won the Fénéon Prize for Literature.

His work often plays with the codes of narration sometimes to the degree that it is even difficult to understand which story is related in his books, and has consequently been classified as postmodern literature. He has been noted for his associations with Les Éditions de Minuit, a publishing-house largely associated with the leading experimental writers composing in French today.
