"On the Ceiling" tells the story of a young man who wears a chair
upside down on his head. He falls in love with a young woman named
Meline, and soon he and his friends move in with her and her
family. They are disappointed by the life they find at Meline's,
however, and in search of something better they make the collective
decision to move to the ceiling of her house, where they expect to
find a more orderly, more rational, and less encumbered existence.
Eric Chevillard's trademark is inventing characters who have
little choice but to dream up the most hopelessly outlandish and
breathtakingly brilliant schemes if they are to survive the rigors
of their existence. He is fascinated by the imperious need we all
feel to make life bearable and by the lengths to which we are
willing to go in that pursuit. The characters in "On the Ceiling"
are prepared to go rather further than most of us. Chevillard, one
of the most inventive young authors on the French literary scene,
is the author of eight novels.
