Paperback. Paul Park is one of modern fiction's major innovators. With characters truly alien and disturbingly normal, his work explores the shifting interface between traditional narrative and luminous dream, all in the service of a deeper humanism. 'Climate Change,' original to this volume, is an intimate and erotic take on a global environmental crisis. 'A Resistance to Theory' chronicles the passionate (and bloody) competition between the armed adherents of postmodern literary schools. 'A Conversation with the Author' gives readers a harrowing look behind the curtains of an MFA program. In 'A Brief History of SF' a fan encounters the ruined man who first glimpsed the ruined cities of Mars. 'Creative Nonfiction' showcases a professor's eager collaboration with a student intent on wrecking his career. The only nonfiction piece, 'A Homily for Good Friday,' was delivered to a stunned congregation at a New England church. Paul Park is one of modern fiction's major innovators.

Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
