Sixty Stories

One of the best short story collections in American literature. A kaleidoscope of lives and characters, unforgettable panoramas of cities and towns, always relevant philosophical dilemmas, and paradoxical aphorisms. Everyone will find something of their own in these pages of a distinguished master novelist: from absurdity and dark humor to piercing lyricism and eternal values.

Donald Barthelmy, the classic of postmodernism, offers his own version of the world history of the last two centuries, which has everything and a little more: Indians, Kierkegaard, the sinking president, angels, Edward Lear, capitalism, and jazz.
