Synopsis

Appearing in English for the first time, Roth's novellas and short stories are considered by some to rank with Chekhov's and Kafka's as among the greatest of the 20th century. Each of these short works conjures characters and an entire world with breathtaking concision. This book is further evidence of Roth's genius as a tragic story teller.

Media Reviews
'Roth is one of the great addictive writers of the first half of the 20th century. He is witty, profound, surprising and melancholy. The paradox is this: no-one is fundamentally more pessimistic; no writer is more affirmative' The Scotsman 'The poet Michael Hofmann has performed such an invaluable service that it's a shame that the minting of medals has gone out of fashion.' Evening Standard 'Clearly illustrate the qualities that make his prose so distinctive' The Sunday Telegraph
