Synopsis
Gary Lutz "a writers' writers' writer," master of the sentence, icon has long held the attention and admiration of writing students and the avant gard. "The Complete Gary Lutz " includes all of his story collections along with several new and unpublished pieces., For nearly three decades, Gary Lutz has been writing quietly influential, virtuosic short fictions of antic despair. In barbed sentences of startling originality, Lutz gives voice to outcasts from conventional genders and monogamies--and even from the ruckus of their own bodies. Making their rounds of daily humiliations, Lutz's self-unnerving narrators find themselves helplessly trespassing on their own lives. This omnibus volume, with an introduction by Brian Evenson, gathers all five of Lutz's sometimes hard-to-find collections and features sixty pages of previously uncollected stories--including his two longest.
