Donald Barthelme: Collected Stories (Loa #343) - (Hardcover)

This comprehensive collection of Donald Barthelme's short stories is a must-read for fans of twentieth-century literature.

With a foreword by Charles McGrath, this book showcases Barthelme's unique approach to fiction, his upside-down worlds that are grounded in fundamental human truths, and his genius for dialogue, parody, and collage.

The selected stories, including those from Come Back, Dr.

Caligari (1964), Sixty Stories, and Forty Stories, demonstrate Barthelme's sophisticated style and his ability to wrest profundities out of seemingly ephemeral topics.

This collection is a desert-island edition for fans and an ideal introduction to new readers eager to discover why Dave Eggers calls Barthelme's writing "a revelation."
