Cronopios and Famas is a collection of exhilarating short short stories that exhibit all the chaos and pleasure to be found in the Cort zarian universe. These short works, often no more than a paragraph long examine such things as the nefarious meaning behind giving the gift of a watch, or give instructions on the best way to interpret classical paintings, as well as outlining the strange and wonderful world of the Cronopios and Famas. The book as a whole becomes a wonderful virtuoso expression of joie de vivre, full of tricks, illusions and the odd piece of time travel.
