Example Publication: Alice, the Sausage – Sophie Jabès Translator:Paul Buck, Catherine Petit                    A bizarre, erotic Euro Short which presents a kind of fable on women's fragile self-image and the old chestnut of "being nice" to please men. Deceptively simple, the story is in reality a twisted, melancholic, and darkly funny tale that its author takes through to an excessive conclusion. Sad, shocking, frank and very bizarre.

Who will read these books?

Readers who want a read that makes them pause and think. Also romantics, intellectuals and anyone who likes the off beat and provocative. These are books for readers with imagination, who like something a little different from the norm, and who are prepared to take a writer on trust.
