Collected Short Fiction by Gerald Murnane
Never before available to readers in the UK, these brilliant and idiosyncratic short stories stand alongside the fictions of Borges, Beckett and Nabokov.
`As Murnane remarks, "My writing was not an attempt to produce something called literature but an attempt to discover meaning", and his insistence on the artifice of written enterprise bears witness to a thoroughness and integrity that far outweigh the minor virtue - or minor vice - of readability' Adrian Nathan West Times Literary Supplement ----`A voice so clear, so unaffected, that it's a voice for everyone.' Benjamin H, Ogden, The New York Times ----'The sentences are laid on like varnish, coat after coat, until the text gleams with a high shine. Immaculate in its unadorned plainness ...his prose achieves a crystalline beauty.' The New Republic
