René Belletto was born in France in 1945. His first book, Le Temps mort, won the Prix Jean Ray for fantasy literature, his novel Sur le terre comme au ciel won the Grand Prix for fiction, and his novel L’Enfer won the Prix Fémina. Alyson Waters teaches translation at Yale University. She has translated multiple books, including Vassilis Alexakis’s Foreign Words and Albert Cossery’s A Splendid Conspiracy. Stacey Levine is the author of four works of fiction, including, most recently, The Girl with Brown Fur: Tales and Stories.
"Belletto's readers will be happy to find once again the strangeness, the mischievousness, and the atmosphere of looming danger of the author's early novels. Total master of his art, Belletto lets the doubts that penetrate him seep into us. Life is a dream, he whispers, in a narrative voice worthy of eighteenth-century tales, slyly blended with modernity. And what if death were also a dream? ... Each of us must solve the mystery." - Michele Gazie
