Publisher Description: These thirty-three prose inventions of Christopher Middleton constitute the fourth pillar of an extraordinary literary oeuvre, the other three being his poetry, translations, and literary essays. Whatever one chooses to call these often astonishing miniatures, they are certainly Middleton's wildest, most accessible, and most entertaining work, and they count as some of his very finest writing.-- August Kleinzahler, Foreword These uncategorizable writings by a distinguished poet and translator are lively, erudite, and creative. Like his poetry, Middleton's prose pieces are alive with incongruity, collage, and surprising juxtapositions. This extensive collection is the perfect addition to every student's, scholar's, and avid reader's bookshelf. |
Contributor Bio(s): Middleton, Christopher: - Christopher Middleton is the author or editor of more than twenty books of poetry and prose, and he is an award-winning translator of German literature. He is a professor emeritus of German languages and literature at the University of Texas at Austin. |
