Stories from a mind-bending Australian master, a genius on the level of Beckett (Teju Cole)
Never before available to readers in this hemisphere, these storiesoriginally published from 1985 to 2012offer an irresistible compendium of the work of one of contemporary fictions greatest magicians.
While the Australian master Gerald Murnanes reputation rests largely on his longer works of fiction, his short stories stand among the most brilliant and idiosyncratic uses of the form since Borges, Beckett, and Nabokov. Brutal, comic, obscene, and crystalline, Stream System runs from the haunting Land Deal, which imagines the colonization of Australia and the ultimate vengeance of its indigenous people as a series of nested dreams; to Finger Web, which tells a quietly terrifying, fractal tale of the scars of war and the roots of misogyny; to The Interior of Gaaldine, which finds its anxious protagonist stranded beyond the limits of fiction itself.
No one else writes like Murnane, and there are few other authors alive still capable of changing howand whywe read.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
