Description
Newly discovered stories from one of the great storytellers of the twentieth century.

Literature, life, art, love, yearning, the mind, brothels, dinners, celebrities, fashion, aesthetics, cookies, insomnia, the beach, France, mothers, the theater, obsession, flowers, and memory--to name just a few--are perfectly captured here. Writing before Proust is little but a long prologue; after him, side notes. --From a Goodreads.com review by "Liel," published 07/26/07, via Worldcat.org.
