Description

With Death and So Forth, esteemed writer and editor Gordon Lish returns with a new book of scintillating short fiction. With his trademark precision, wit, and wiliness, Lish writes outside the margins and around the edges of the death, loss, and the fractiousness and fragmentation of language. Death and So Forth collects a number of Lish's acclaimed stories and introduces eight new fictions, including a tribute to Denis Johnson and so many others lost in the course of a long life. Brilliant and sharp-eyed, this is a treasure for fans of Gordon Lish, new and lifelong.

Reviews
"Lish is still our Joyce, our Beckett, our most true modernist. Buy! Read! Listen up!"-Kirkus Reviews "Gordon Lish, famous for all the wrong reasons, has written some of the most fascinating American fiction of the last ten years."-Don DeLillo "Lish has produced a wealth of avant-garde prose, worthy of the pioneers of literary modernism. His writing represents the US answer to Samuel Beckett and Thomas Bernhard."-The Guardian

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
