From A.T. French comes a mesmerizing debut collection of short fiction: ten fantastically imaginative, exhilarating, heartfelt stories. Light but profound, these are tales that set the mind aflame.

“Commendable Delusions is one of those hidden gems... In only ten pieces, it does what the best of stories do: it at once imparts wisdom, inspires the mind, and entertains with a sense of playful joy.” — Independent Book Review

Delusion? No. A great truth is unearthed when a curious traveler reaches his internal pantheon of storytellers. Deep within him, for his entire life, the emissaries of his imagination have been gathering once a week to tell each other tales. The tales they tell reflect his innermost thoughts and vacant ponderings, his dreams of day and the renderings of his subconscious. They are The Mad Ones of Aux Folies — the traveler’s multitudes within.

How does the traveler find them? He follows the roman candles...

‘Those sparks that fly when nature’s secrets are exposed. Those flashes across the eye when a mind ignites with something beautiful.’

Commendable Delusions gives form and substance to nameless and unseen things. It’s time to extend the boundaries of the known.
