& Other Stories
Ebook (EPUB Format)

Welcome to the peculiar, headlong world of Brian Doyle's fiction, where the odd is happening all the time, reported upon by characters of every sort and stripe.

A collection of humorous short stories from the award-winning author of The Plover and Mink River. Welcome to the peculiar, headlong world of Brian Doyle's fiction, where the odd is happening all the time, reported upon by characters of every sort and stripe. Swirling voices and skeins of story, laughter and rage, ferocious attention to detail and sweeping nuttiness, tears and chortling-these stories will remind readers of the late giant David Foster Wallace, in their straightforward accounts of anything-but-straightforward events; of modern short story pioneer Raymond Carver, a bit, in their blunt, unadorned dialogue; and of Julia Whitty, a bit, in their willingness to believe what is happening, even if it absolutely shouldn't be. Funny, piercing, unique, memorable, this is a collection of stories readers will find nearly impossible to forget.To read Brian Doyle is to apprehend, all at once, the force that drives Mark Twain, and Walt Whitman, and James Joyce, and Emily Dickinson, and Francis of Assisi, and Jonah under his gourd. Brian Doyle is an extraordinary writer whose tales will endure. The sublime 'Waking the Bishop' is going to inhabit American anthologies forever and ever. -Cynthia Ozick, New York Times-bestselling author of Heir to the Glimmering World What I like about Brian Doyle's writing is that it's real-it's got mud and blood and tears but it's also got earthly angels who teach him to grasp on to each small epiphany as it opens before him. -Martin Flanagan, author of The Call and The Art of Pollination
