For nearly three decades, Gary Lutz has been writing quietly
influential, virtuosic short fictions of antic despair. In barbed
sentences of startling originality, Lutz gives voice to outcasts from
conventional genders and monogamies--and even from the ruckus of their
own bodies. Making their rounds of daily humiliations, Lutz's
self-unnerving narrators find themselves helplessly trespassing on their
own lives. This omnibus volume, with an introduction by Brian Evenson,
gathers all five of Lutz's sometimes hard-to-find collections and
features sixty pages of previously uncollected stories--including his
two longest.
