No Bile!

Exploring themes of absurdity and black humor, this collection features a variety of narratives, including love stories, revenge tales, and monologues. Standout pieces like "Absinthes," which delves into an internal monologue about the Green Fairy, and "Poor Césarine," a story of obsessive love, showcase Allais's wit and creativity. Additionally, "A Good Society" presents a unique social commentary on collecting used matches for the needy. The volume also includes six uncollected stories, illustrations, and notes by Doug Skinner, marking its first English translation.
