This is James Purdy's third volume of short stories, and is a collection of fourteen stories written over the past 20 years that have never been collected in book form. He is master craftsman, a humorist of the first rank, and widely recognized as one of the most significent living American writers. These dark and whimsical tales - contemporary fables of deep loneliness and near mystical redemption- will engage, haunt and delight both long-time fans of Purdy and those who have never read him before.
