Sixty Stories
Introduction by David Gates
Audacious and murderously witty, and
as influential to the short story genre as
Hemingway, Barthelme shares cryptic
dialogues, impossible travelogues and
the mythical frontiers of his very own
America. The sixty stories collected in
this volume are triumphs of language
and perception, at once unsettling and
irresistible.
