Description
"These thirty-three prose inventions of Christopher Middleton constitute the fourth pillar of an extraordinary literary oeuvre, the other three being his poetry, translations, and literary essays. Whatever one chooses to call these often astonishing miniatures, they are certainly Middleton's wildest, most accessible and entertaining work, and they count as some of his very finest writing." - August Kleinzahler, Foreword
These uncategorizable writings by a distinguished poet and translator are lively, erudite, and creative. Like his poetry, Middleton's prose pieces are alive with incongruity, collage, and surprising juxtapositions. This extensive collection is the perfect addition to every student's, scholar's, and avid reader's bookshelf.
