David B. (Epileptic, The Armed Garden) sets out to explore the uncharted territories of overflowing and dusty shelves of Paris' legendary book shops. His journey quickly turns into an obsessive vision quest in pursuit of a mysterious 19th Century journal: Incidents In the Night. Mountains of books become sites of archeological digs as the author excavates layers of myth, fact and fiction in search of the elusive thread that links them all. Along the way he stumbles on fanatical Bonapartists, occult conspiracies, and the angel of death. Incidents in the Night is an intricate, ever-expanding web of dream and reality exquisitely translated by novelist Brian Evenson

David B's book, Epileptic, is a best-seller in North America, and here is a chance to read his follow up, Babel. A boy's world is shattered by his brother's epileptic seizures and his own growing awareness of turmoil in the world at large. Beyond the bewildered silence of grown-ups are images - tabloid crime photos, television reports of starvation in Biafra, the hieratic language of his brother's contorted body - that hold the promise of knowledge. In Babel, dreams, myth and history merge with memory to weave a deeply poetic story about the sources of strength and vision.
