Also, in each of these selections will appear a story from one of the new collections being published in the "Summer of the Short Story." A story from Alex Burrett's forthcoming collection, MY GOAT ATE ITS OWN LEGS, will be printed at the back of this volume. Here are ten stories that represent some of the best short work of American master Herman Melville, including "Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall-Street," "The Happy Failure," and "The Paradise of Bachelors and The Tartarus of Maids." Alongside THE HAPPY FAILURE, Harper Perennial will publish the short fiction of Fyodor Dostoevsky, Leo Tolstoy, Willa Cather, Stephen Crane, and Oscar Wilde to be packaged in a beautifully designed, boldly colorful boxset in the aim to attract contemporary fans of short fiction to these revered masters of the form.

Quite possibly only Statley Elkin possesses the exact blend of irreverence and care, of hard-core realism and fabulous invention, to have pulled this off.Įlkin knows that cliches are the substance of our lives, the coinage of human intercourse, the ways and means that hold our messy sleves and sprawling nation intact. And I should say at once that this "triptych," as Elkin calls it, composed of three sections entitled "The Comventional Wisdom," "the Bottom Line," and "the State of the Art," is the work of a master, a story eloquent in its gestures and amazing for the ease with which it moves from a liquor store hold-up in Minneapolis to the "wall-to-wall Wall" of damnation, from Heaven as a "theme park" to Hell as "the ultimate inner city." Half farce, half morality play, The Living End puts God himself on trial, the Lord faced off against the damned who in their countless number equal Everyman. THE LIVING END is Stanley Elkin's comic fable of Heaven, Hell and the Last Days, a small book big in evey way but length.
