Fables is the second volume in Alexander Theroux's triad of short fictions, gathering twenty-one stories by the National Book Award–nominated author of Three Wogs, Darconville's Cat, An Adultery, and Laura Warholic.

These pieces refine Theroux's distinctive approach to the fable: compressed narratives driven by wit, linguistic precision, and ethical inquiry. His short fiction has appeared widely, including in The New York Times, Esquire, The Paris Review, Conjunctions, and The Review of Contemporary Fiction.
