Summary
A dazzling collection of new works from a respected voice in contemporary fiction offers provocative, witty, and sometimes dark tales that glow with immediacy and authenticity, including the title work about men who fear women. Simultaneous.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Using his trademark dead-pan humor, Wallace intensely explores the immediate states of mind, with the extraordinary daring prose that has won him his reputation as one of the most talented fiction writers of his generation. Among the stories performed on this audio presentation are "The Depressed Person", a dazzling portrayal of a woman's mental state; "Adult World", which reveals a woman's agonized consideration of her confusing sexual relationship with her husband; and "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men", a dark, hilarious series of portraits of men whose fear of women renders them grotesque.
