  In this splendidly diverse collection of stories, Rick Moody travels across the surface of America and lays bare the troubling loss of connection that lurks beneath. The stories are cast in many varied forms - domestic comedy, pseudo-fairytale, philosophical argument - but whatever the genre, the underlying elements linking them all together concern loss, pleasure, and the difficulty of really expressing love. What characterises them in style is an antic humour, and a vibrancy of language that is uniquely Rick Moody's own, leaving the reader with no doubt about why the New Yorker voted him one of the 'Twenty Writers for the 21st Century'.

  Demonology is the brilliant new collection of short stories by Rick Moody. Infused with a humane comic sense, these stories dig deep into American society and reveal the loss of connection that lurks under the surface.The stories are about language, grief, car crashes, love. They are cast in many diverse forms - domestic comedy, pseudo-fairy-tale, philosophical argument - but the underlying elements that link them together concern loss and pleasure, and the difficulty of really expressing love. Often they are fierce and unflinching - yet characterized by an antic humour and a vibrancy of language that is uniquely Rick Moody's.
