France
Prehistoric Times
by Eric Chevillard
translated from the French
by Alyson Waters
“Chevillard is one of France’s most
mercurial and impish contemporary writers.?...
Prehistoric Times is an intellectual roller coaster
and fun house mirror gallery in one.”

France
Autoportrait
by Edouard Levé
translated from the French
by Lorin Stein
“… while it may ultimately be
egotistical to call a book that
acts as a mirror one of the most
memorable I’ve read this year, I think
Autoportrait is a remarkable and
unforgettable exploration of all that’s
singular and universal in the self.”
