Cendrars' Weird Christmas Stories

Christmas at the Four Corners of the Earth, by Blaise Cendrars (HC, 1994, $2)

These stories drawn from Cendrars' travels aroung the world are described as being "trans-realist prose" (whatever that is), and the "antitheses to traditional and perhaps sentimental Christmas stories." Frankly, I just think they are weird. Look for this thin book in the Christmas room, avail. 12/21. (Yee gads, is it that close to Christmas already!)
