Another great review from Publishers Weekly . . .

. . . this time for Manuela Draeger's In the Time of the Blue Ball (translated from the French by Brian Evenson): "In three short stories with a distinct Murakami vibe, hapless investigator Bobby Potemkine threads his way through his city’s meteor-shredded ruins to find out which of several women named Lili has really invented fire, what to do about an angry noodle named Auguste Diodon, and how to rescue the many baby pelicans that litter the roads."
