Over the last four decades, Lynne Tillman has established herself as one of America’s most audacious writers, a tireless innovator whose shorter works have reimagined the story form.
Thrilled to Death collects a bold, playful, and eclectic ensemble of Tillman’s fictions. By turns outrageous and melancholy, meditative and abrupt, these stories are animated by deliciously paradoxical characters who are imbued with intelligence and ambivalence.
Curated by the author, this definitive collection will surprise and delight established fans and new readers alike.
‘This shimmering, career-spanning collection captures Tillman at her most beguiling, playful, and inventive… Tillman is infinitely clever and a master at concision, able to unspool both ordinary and epic tragedies in just a few pages. This is Tillman’s best book yet.’ Publishers Weekly
‘Of course, it would be this way, that the stories Lynne Tillman has bestowed all these years now record a kind of cyclone of sensations: the public and private affairs and catastrophes, the art and music we pulled close to us in order to survive, the city streets on fire with human noises and glances, the exhausting joy and delirious loneliness of living through it all. What a superb compendium of voices she’s given us.’ JonathanLethem
