Death of the Novel and Other Stories (Heftet (myke permer))

Ronald Sukenick has been on the cutting edge of American writing and publishing for four decades. Winner of an American Book Award for Lifetime Achievement and the American Academy of Arts and Letters prestigious Morton Dauwen Zabel Award, he is the author of eleven works of fiction and criticism, including 98.6 (FC2, 1975) and Mosaic Man (FC2, 1999). He is founder and publisher of American Book Review and currently lives in Paris and New York.

Originally published in 1969, The Death of the Novel and Other Stories remains among the most memorable creations of an unforgettable age. Irrepressibly experimental in both content and form, these anti-fictions set out to rescue experience from its containment within artistic convention and bourgeois morality. Equal parts high modernist aesthete and borscht belt comedian, Sukenick joins avant-garde art with street slang and cartoons, expressing his generation's anxieties by simultaneously mocking and validating them. These are original works by a writer who will try absolutely anything.
