Synopsis

This collection of short stories by Hervé Le Tellier presents a series of wildly varied narratives, from a library losing its mind to a chess game in hell. Each story is a unique exploration, shifting in tone from playful to erudite, political to sentimental. The only constant is Le Tellier's distinctive style, which adapts and reinvents itself with every new tale.
