Rick Moody s novels have earned him a reputation as a -breathtaking- writer (The New York Times) and -a writer of immense gifts- (The San Francisco Examiner). His remarkable short stories have led both the New Yorker and Harpers to single him out as one of the most original and admired voices in a generation. These stories are abundant proof of Rick Moody s grace as a stylist and a shaper of interior lives. He writes with equal force about the blithe energies of youth (-Boys-) and the rueful onset of middle age (-Hawaiian Night-), about Midwestern optimists (-Double Zero-) and West coast strategists (-Baggage Carousel-), about visionary exhilaration (-Forecast from the Retail Desk-) and delusional catharsis (-Surplus Value Books: Catalog Number 13.-) The astounding title story, which has already been reprinted in four different anthologies, is a masterpiece of remembrance and thwarted love. Full of deep feeling and stunningly beautiful language, the stories in Demonology offer the deepest pleasures that fiction can afford. ***LOOK FOR OTHER GREAT TITLES BY THIS AUTHOR IN OUR STORE!***.
