The World Is the Home of Love and Death: Stories
Here is the third and final volume of short stories from one of America's greatest fiction writers--Brodkey at his most mature, insightful, elegant, and wise. The writer returns here to the themes he has treated so memorably in the past--the conformity and stupefying monotony of suburbia, the malevolence of cocktail-party conversation, the subtle dynamics of sexual power--bringing to them new refinement and compression. National as.
