Synopsis
Eric Chevillard is a bright new talent in the French literary scene. His style, with its burlesque variations, accelerations and ruptures, takes the reader into a frightening and jubilatory delirium. In Prehistoric Times, Chevillard's characters are reminiscent of the inhabitants of Beckett's world: dreamers who in their savage and deductive folly try to modify reality. In an entirely original voice, Chevillard asks looming, luminous questions about who we really are.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The narrator of Plt;iPgt;Prehistoric TimesPlt;/iPgt; might easily be taken for an inhabitant of BeckettP#8217;s world: a dreamer who in his savage and deductive folly tries to modify reality. The writing, with its burlesque variations, accelerations, and ruptures, takes us into a frightening and jubilant delirium, where the message is in the medium and digression gets straight to the point. In an entirely original voice, Eric Chevillard asks looming and luminous questions about who we are, the paths weP#8217;ve been traveling, and where we might be going P#8211; or not. Chevillard asks luminous and very funny questions about who we are, where we come from, and where we might be going.
