"At every stage in his career, Leonard Michaels (1933-2003) produced taut, spare tales of sex, love, and other adult intimacies: gossip, argument, friendship, guilt, rage. His collections are among the most admired, influential, and exciting of the past half century. THE COLLECTED STORIES gathers his short fiction in one volume, from the astonishing debut collection Going Places (1969) to the previously uncollected last stories, unavailable since they appeared in The New Yorker, The Threepenny Review, and Partisan Review. [] A fearless writer--'destructive, joyful, brilliant, purely creative,' in the words of John Hawkes--Michaels probed his characters' motivations with brutal humor and startling frankness; his ear for the vernacular puts him in the company of Philip Roth, Grace Paley, and Bernard Malamud. His prose is nothing short of addictive. His COLLECTED STORIES is a landmark." [jacket copy] "Larky, fifully brilliant, as profane as they are aphoristic, Leonard Michaels's stories stand alongside those of his best Jewish contemporaries--Grace Paley and Philip Roth. Like theirs, Michaels's vernacular achieves the level of song . . . 'Murderers' measures up to that other masterpiece about a young boy on a rooftop, Philip Roth's 'Converstion of the Jews' . . . Michaels's later work contains his greatest writing . . . The seven astonishing Nachmann stories consider moral problems freshly. All the ornament seems burned off, purified; the narratives distilled and gorgeously plain, as only a great stylist's can become. Less crackling than the earlier work, they're smoother in the mouth, stark in form. Michaels was writing more Nachmann stories when he died. If finished and published together, they might have made a novel. As it is, they're seven irregular beauties, to be read again and again."--The New York Times Book Review. "A dense, ribald, astringent outpouring of pure talent."--Susan Sontag. "Sentence by sentence, [Michaels's stories] have an electrical charge . . . Other American writers have tried to write stories like these, but Leonard Michaels got there first and has done it better than almost anyone else."--Charles Baxter. "One of the strongest and most arresting prose talents of his generation."--Larry McMurtry. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a handsome, intact jacket. Quite presentable.…
