Prehistoric times (1st Archipelago Books Edition)

The narrator of Prehistoric Times might easily be taken for an inhabitant of Becketts 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 weve been traveling, and where we might be going or not.
