With these audacious and murderously witty stories, Donald Barthelme
threw the preoccupations of our time into the literary equivalent of a
Cuisinart and served up a gorgeous salad of American culture, high and
low. Here are the urban upheavals reimagined as frontier myth;
travelogues through countries that might have been created by Kafka;
cryptic dialogues that bore down to the bedrock of our longings, dreams,
and angsts.
Like all of Barthelme's work, the 60 stories collected in this volume
are triumphs of language and perception, at once unsettling and
irresistible.
As an added bonus, when you purchase our Audible Modern Vanguard
production of Donald Barthelme's book, you'll also get an exclusive Jim
Atlas interview added to your library.
