Paperback. Condizione: New. "To the novel-everyone's novel-Sorrentino brings honor, tradition, and relentless passion."-Don DeLillo"Sorrentino [is] a writer like no other. He's learned, companionable, ribald, brave, mathematical, at once virtuosic and somehow without ego. Sorrentino's books break free of the routine that inevitably accompanies traditional narrative and through a passionate renunciation shine with an unforgiving, yet cleansing, light."-Jeffrey Eugenides"For a compelling, hilarious, and ultimately compassionate rendering of life in mid-20th-century America, forget the conscientious subjectors and take Gilbert Sorrentino at his golden Word."-Harry Mathews"One of [Brooklyn]'s most intriguing and authentic homegrown talents, Sorrentino's Bay Ridge deserves to be appreciated alongside Malamud's Crown Heights, Arthur Miller's Coney Island, Henry Miller's and Betty Smith's Williamsburg, Hamill's and Auster's Park Slope, and Lethem's Boerum Hill."-BookforumTitled after a line from Henry James, Gilbert Sorrentino's final novel consists of fifty narrative set pieces full of savage humor and cathartic passion-an elegiac paean to the bleak world he so brilliantly captured in his long and storied career. Mirroring the inexplicable coincidences, encounters, and hallmarks of modern life, this novel revisits familiar characters-the aging artists, miserable couples, crackerjack salesmen, and drunken soldiers of previous books, placing them in familiar landscapes lost in time between the Depression era and some fraudulent bohemia of the present.A luminary of American literature, Gilbert Sorrentino was a boyhood friend of Hubert Selby, Jr., a confidant of William Carlos Williams, a two-time PEN/Faulkner Award finalist, and the recipient of a Lannan Literary Lifetime Achievement Award. He taught at Stanford for many years before returning to his native Brooklyn and published over thirty books before his death in 2006.

"The final novel from the postmodern American master. [] Titled after a line from Henry James, THE ABYSS OF HUMAN ILLUSION consists of fifty narrative set pieces full of savage humor and cathartic passion--an elegiac paean to the grimly comic, unsentimental, and quintessentially American world Gilbert Sorrentino so brilliantly captured in his long and stories career. [] Mirroring the inexplicable coincidences, encounters, and hallmarks of modern life, this novel revisits familiar characters--the aging artists, miserable couples, crackerjack salesmen, and drunken soldiers of previous books, placing them in familiar landscapes lost in time between the Depression era and some fraudulent bohemia of the present." [publisher copy] "To the novel--everyone's novel--Sorrentino brings honor, tradition and relentless passion."--Don DeLillo. "It's still hard to accept a world without the great Gilbert Sorrentino writing in it. Over the last several decades, nobody that smart was ever funnier, nobody that funny was ever a better prose artist, nobody that original was ever more attuned to the pain and trickiness of being--and thinking about being--human. That his final book evinces all the complexity, poetry and dark mirth that made him so revered might not surprise, but it does inspire."--Sam Lipsyte. "Gilbert Sorrentino was not just a ferociously brilliant writer, he was several of them, shedding his skin with each book, mastering and forging enough new literary vernacular to enrich the language for a long time to come."--Ben Marcus. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.
