Amazon.com description: Product Description: [Read by Sean Runnette, Joe Barrett, Grover Gardner, and Dawn Harvey]
Him with His Foot in His Mouth, and Other Stories is a collection of short fiction from one of the most influential authors of the twentieth century. In the title piece, a musicologist awaiting extradition in British Columbia reflects on the events of his past that led to his criminal offense -- beginning with a thoughtless insult he'd given over thirty years earlier. ''What Kind of Day Did You Have?'' explores the humorous conflicts in a single day in the lives of a divorcée and her lovers. Reanimating the Chicago of the past as only Bellow can, ''Zetland: By a Character Witness'' tells the story of the early life of a brilliant but eccentric artist. In ''A Silver Dish'' a man mourning his father recalls his memories of their relationship. And in ''Cousins'' a successful man is drawn into his cousin's life of criminal activities. Witty and at times emotional, Him with His Foot in His Mouth, and Other Stories is a must-have collection for all Bellow fans.
