In the Time of the Blue Ball

Fiction. Translated from the French by Brian Evenson. "With the calm strangeness of dreams, and humor deepened by a hint of melancholy, these wonderful stories fool around on the frontiers of the imagination. All musical dogs, woolly crabs, children and other detectives of the not-yet-invented should own this book."―Shelley Jackson

"Humane, impossible, homely and alien, Draeger's extraordinary stories are as close to dreams as fiction can be."―China Miéville
