Hello, I am the best short story writer.

What is this guy’s deal? He seems very respected in the literary world, yet he receives little recognition from almost everyone else. His 60 Stories collection is part of a 3 for 2 deal so I decided to gamble. What am I in for?

>>9622743
oh please.

Has anyone read his 60 stories? How were they?

>>6714189

You forgot this guy, althought he only lived there for his first two years.

There's also Chomsky.

I've already, in twisted prose that I can't help and is kind of similar to Kafka's writing, established what I thought would be clear to most everyone reading the Trial, that Josef K. is nothing like a meek man like Kafka, but is a strong, self-satisfied figure like Kafka's father. Anyone wanna guess one of the next two pieces of the puzzle in proving Josef K. guilty?

Any Donald Barthelme enthusiast here? i fucking love his works.

For those who don't know him i highly recommend, he made amazing short stories, like "The Balloon". DFW said that this storie was his first fictional click in literature.

This is my favorite barthelm's piece:

Is there a good collection of Barthelme's short stories that a neophyte might start with?
