They call to mind Rudyard Kipling's \u003ci\u003eJust So Stories\u003c\/i\u003e as readily as they do Italo Calvino's \u003ci\u003eCosmicomics\u003c\/i\u003e, Rikki Ducornet's \u003ci\u003eButcher's Tales\u003c\/i\u003e and Woody Allen's most literary writings. Braced on the shoulders of the fabulists, fantasists, absurdists, surrealists and satirists who came before him, Daniel Grandbois dredges up impossible meanings from the mineral and plant kingdoms, as well as the animal, and serves them to us as if they were nothing more fantastic than a plate of eggs and ham.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaniel Grandbois' other book, \u003ci\u003eThe Hermaphrodite (An Hallucinated Memoir)\u003c\/i\u003e, with forty original woodcuts by Argentine printmaker Alfredo Benavidez Bedoya, is forthcoming from Green Integer in fall 2008.
