The Suffering of Lesser Mammals - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In The Suffering of Lesser Mammals, Greg Sanders draws the reader into a world of believable absurdity, as individual crises meld with those of the age. In these thirteen stories, a young father’s anxiety throws the Earth out of orbit; a bachelor breaks up with his car; a “multivariate correlator” conjures a lonely deity; and two sisters are abducted by a cadre of immortal alewives. Wildly inventive, morally wise, and achingly funny, this is the short story as reimagined by a fearless—and fearsome—voice.

Greg Sanders is a beguiling, far-ranging fabulist, whose wily, hyper-smart inventions take us from Big Sur to Brooklyn, from Kafka's Prague to a remote exoplanet—and to cyberspace, whose cold zones measure human value in ‘clickthrough rates,’ and whose dark corners register “a world in magnificent turmoil and unrepentant decline.”
—David Gates, Pulitzer finalist, author of A Hand Reached Down to Guide Me

Greg Sanders is a startling fiction writer with a quirky-snarky & deeply affecting prose manner that's original and all his own. I highly recommend you jump on his new collection of stories, The Suffering of Lesser Mammals. Of which we are some.
—Frederick Barthelme, author of the story collection Moon Deluxe,
the novel There Must Be Some Mistake, and fourteen other books in between
