Author:Donald Barthelme,David Gates
This excellent collection of Donald Barthelme's literary output during the 1960s and 1970s covers the period when the writer came to prominence--producing the stories, satires, parodies, and other formal experiments that altered fiction as we know it--and wrote many of the most beautiful sentences in the English language. Due to the unfortunate discontinuance of many of Barthelme's titles, 60 Stories now stands as one of the broadest overviews of his work, containing selections from eight previously published books, as well as a number of other short works that had been otherwise uncollected.
Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire to
—— Katie FfordeMy favourite historical novelist - stylish, romantic, sharp, and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines are enterprising, and her heroes dashing. I owe her many happy hours
—— Margaret DrabbleA writer of great wit and style - I've read her books to ragged shreds
—— Kate Fenton , Daily TelegraphEvery girl, whatever her age, needs her own complete set of Heyer titles. More than romantic they are witty, elegant, stylish and the best comedies of manners since Jane Austen. Required reading for everyone
—— Diane PearsonGeorgette Heyer is unbeatable
—— India KnightSparkling
—— The Independent on SundayDarien Dogs is a bullishly confident and vivacious collection
—— Time OutBeautifully paced and pitched
