Originally published in French by Éditions Fata Morgana, this is the first English translation of Éric Chevillard’s daring and witty micro-essays. Known for his playful and subversive style, Chevillard reflects on everyday objects and cultural references with humor, erudition, and sharp observation — continuing the legacy of French literary innovation.

Contents include essays such as The Guide, Autofiction, The Museum Visit, Hegel’s Cap, Stones, History of the Peloponnesian War, Peter and the Wolf, An Overwhelming Success, The Starry Night, and more.

Praised by writers such as Lauren Groff and David Bellos, this book is a delightful collection of literary miniatures, finally available to an English-speaking audience.
