A dozen remarkable short stories from the author of Little Big Man,
offering an absurdist journey through the mind of one of America’s
great storytellers Thomas Berger’s first short story collection in
almost thirty years showcases the author’s acclaimed wit, intellect,
and emotional sureness. His pages teem with larger-than-life
characters: Dr. Poon, a Hollywood snake handler in way over his head
during a film shoot in Southeast Asia; Charlie, an apartment
superintendent who finds a peculiarly powerful plastic pistol; and
Vernon, the confused owner of a talking puppy. No matter where Berger
takes his readers, his world is full of oddities. This ebook
features an illustrated biography of Thomas Berger including rare
images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal
collection.
