Inhaltsangabe

Collected fiction from one of America’s finest writers.

Hilarious and profoundly moving, this volume restores to print all the fiction of the writer whom John Ashbery called “simply the best we have.” An essential book for anyone interested in discovering what American literature might still hope to be, Collected Fiction includes Koch’s rambunctious novel The Red Robins as well as his semi-autobiographical stories from Hotel Lambosa. “The New Orleans Stories” and “The Soviet Room” appear here for the first time along with Koch’s previously uncollected short fiction—a warmhearted parody of a children’s adventure narrative and a story detailing the mysteries uncovered by an obsessive postcard detective. Collected here for the first time, Kenneth Koch’s fiction creates an optimistic and comic world in which the pursuit of happiness is taken very seriously.
