One of the best collections of short stories 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 different on these pages of the outstanding master novelist: from absurdity and black humor to poignant lyricism and eternal values. Donald Barthelemy, a classic of postmodernism, offers his own version of the world history of the last two centuries, where there is everything and a little more: Indians, Kerkegor, the drowned President, Angels, Edward Lear, capitalism and jazz.
