The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

"One of the most unique and imaginative writers of his generation."--USA Today

Welcome to the many and fascinating worlds of Jonathan Lethem's striking story collection: A dead man extends his stay on Earth in order to support his family, but merely exists, zombielike, while here; basketball players wear exosuits that lend them the skills of old-time stars like Jordan and Chamberlain; a couple invites the avatars of all their old lovers to their engagement party as a last hurrah; and every time a man takes a lover, her world begins to unwind, until she loses her place in it completely. More wonder awaits in this marvelous collection from Jonathan Lethem, one of our most inventive writers and a recognized master of unforgettable fiction.

"It is the less discernable minglings of the everyday with strange futurity that give Lethem's commonplace themes their awful power and lend his best stories an epic, lyrical power that makes them memorable."--Los Angeles Times
