The author of the highly acclaimed novels
Jernigan (Pulitzer Prize Finalist) and
Preston Falls (National Book Critics Cirlce Award Finalist) offers up a mordantly funny collection of short stories about the faulty bargains we make with ourselves to continure the high-wire act of living meaningful lives in late twentieth-century America.
Populated by highly educated men and women in combat with one another, with substance abuse, and above all with their own relentless self-awareness, the stories in
The Wonders of the Invisible World take place in and around New York City, and put urbanism into uneasy conflict with a fleeting dream of rural with style and ferocious black humor, they confirm David Gates as one of the best-and funniest-writers of our time.
