Fiction. Translated by Chris Clarke. The literary world owes a great debt of gratitude to the executors who, charged with burning the remaining papers of their authorial charges, refuse, instead publishing them for the fanatic and meddlesome among us. Collected here are the remaining unpublished works--diaries and drafts, aphorisms and ephemera--of the late Thomas Pilaster, compiled by Marc-Antoine Marson, a longtime friend and fellow writer with whom Pilaster maintained a healthy rivalry. With rough edges and glints of genius present in equal measure, scholars and lay-readers alike will treasure these curious texts--"So Many Seahorses," "The Vander Sons Company," and "Three Attempts at the Reintroduction of the Man-Eating Tiger Into Our Countryside," to name a few--for generations to come.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The classic Grimms' fairy tale of the valiant little tailor, as you’ve never heard it before Once upon a time, there lived a valiant little tailor who killed seven flies with one blow—but who is this narrator who has abruptly inserted himself into the story, claiming authorship? He’s indignant: the fairy tale, borne carelessly along by the popular imagination, subjected to the transformations of oral tradition, was collected in a lamentable state by the Brothers Grimm, and he intends to restore the tale and its giant-slaying, unicorn-fighting, boar-hunting star to their original magnificence. But the true hero of the story remains to be seen: Is it the tailor, the narrator, or someone else entirely? In this explosive retelling of the classic tale, Éric Chevillard enlists the reader in a dizzying game of crack-the-whip, with new directions and delights in every paragraph. At once irreverent and deeply sincere, this book is a mischievous, multifarious celebration of the power of stories and those who tell them.

The daring, mischievous micro-essays of award-winning French humorist Éric Chevillard, published in English for the first time Éric Chevillard is one of France's leading stylists and thinkers, an endlessly inventive observer of the everyday whose erudition and imagination honor the legacy of Swift and Voltaire--with some good-natured postmodern twists. This ensemble of comic miniatures compiles reflections on chairs, stairs, stones, goldfish, objects found, strangers observed, scenarios imagined, reasonable premises taken to absurd conclusions, and vice versa. The author erects a mental museum for his favorite artworks, only to find it swarming with tourists. He attends a harpsichord recital and lets his passions flare. He happens upon a piece of paper and imagines its sordid back story. He wonders if Hegel's cap, on display in Stuttgart, is really worth the trip. Throughout, Chevillard's powers of observation chime with his verbal acrobatics. His gaze--initially superficial, then deeply attentive, then practically sociopathic--manages time and again to defamiliarize the familiar with a coherent and charismatic charm. Daniel Levin Becker's translation deftly renders the marvels of the original, and a foreword by Daniel Medin offers rich contextual commentary, making a vital wing of French literature and humor newly accessible in English.

Il est évidemment inutile de rappeler ici qui fut Thomas Pilaster, écrivain tant aimé, dont la mort brutale a fait de nous tous de lamentables orphelins. Mince contrepartie, les sept textes inédits rassemblés dans ce volume, que présente et annote son excellent ami, Marc-Antoine Marson, le poète, avec un sens aigu de la nuance critique qui lui permet de tempérer son admiration et de ne jamais verser naïvement dans l’hagiographie, laissant par ailleurs deviner l’histoire surprenante et complexe de leur amitié. Ses commentaires inspirés ressuscitent surtout pour notre plus grand bonheur la compagne de Pilaster, Lise, et contiennent quelques révélations qui devraient faire du bruit sur le rôle exact qu’elle a joué dans la vie et l’œuvre de l’écrivain.
