Inhaltsangabe
In Fun with Problems, Robert Stone demonstrates once again that he is "one of our greatest living writers" (Los Angeles Times). The pieces in this new volume vary greatly in length—some are almost novellas, others no more than a page—but all share the signature blend of longing, violence, black humor, sex and drugs that has helped Stone illuminate the dark corners of the human soul. Entire lives are laid out with remarkable precision, in captivating prose: a screenwriter carries on a decades-long affair with a beautiful actress, whose descent into addiction he can neither turn from nor share; a bored husband picks up a mysterious woman only to find that his ego has led him woefully astray; a world-beating Silicon Valley executive receives an unwelcome guest at his mansion in the hills; a scuba dive guides uneasy newlyweds to a point of no return. Fun with Problems showcases Stone's great gift: to pinpoint and make real the impulses--by turns violently coercive and quietly seductive--that cause us to conceal, reveal, and betray our very selves.

[jacket copy] "In the long form or the short, American fiction has no greater master than Robert Stone. These stories burn with his dark and incandescent magic."--Madison Smartt Bell.

He is, simply, one of our best."--Tom Bissell. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a sharp As New jacket. Artikel-Nr. RUB2780
