Description

Thirteen stories from a modern master

Brodsky is a master both of technique and of language, his sentences positively crackling with unexpected insights.--Publishers Weekly

Brodsky possesses a masterly control of diction and rhythm, an often startling metaphoric gift, and a range of effects extending from Swiftian bluntness to Proustian elaboration.--The New York Review of Books

He brings the reader to reflect anew on ways of knowing and truths of being in an uncertain world.--The New York Times Book Review
