Contemporary short stories about edgy, urban, obsessive characters by one of America's best writers of experimental fiction. This new volume presents short stories from the past twenty-five years by a master of contemporary fiction, collected in book form for the first time. The edgy, obsessive characters in Sleep revise themselves as they speak, in sentences that cross themselves out and start over, as his narrators examine and explore every possible alternative, to the point where these texts become palimpsests, recording not only what is or was, but what might be. And it is left to the reader to determine which is which.
