Book description
This collection of pithy, brilliantly acerbic pieces is a companion to
Sixty Stories, Barthelme's earlier retrospective volume. Barthelme
spotlights the idiosyncratic, haughty, sometimes downright ludicrous
behavior of human beings, but it is style rather than content which
takes precedence. Donald Barthelme (1931-1989) was the author of
seventeen books and the winner of a National Book Award.
