From the brilliant, sui generis Anne Serre - author of the
celebrated Governesses - come three bewitching, thoroughly
out-of-the-way tales. 'To make a pact with the thing that threatens
you is arguably the smartest trick of all.' 'The Fool' may have
stepped out of a tarot pack - to walk a mountain trail or worm his
way into a writer's mind. 'The Narrator' proposes his mirror image,
a storyteller in sheep's clothing, who has a bone to pick with
language. In 'The Wishing Table', the orgiastic antics of an
incestuous family are recounted by one of three daughters. A dream
logic rules each of these unpredictable, sensual and surreal
stories: romps no doubt, yet deeply moral, and entirely
unforgettable ones.
