Book Synopsis Fancies and Goodnights by : John Collier

Download or read book Fancies and Goodnights written by John Collier and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2003-05-31 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Collier's edgy, sardonic tales are works of rare wit, curious insight, and scary implication. They stand out as one of the pinnacles in the critically neglected but perennially popular tradition of weird writing that includes E.T.A. Hoffmann and Charles Dickens as well as more recent masters like Jorge Luis Borges and Roald Dahl. With a cast of characters that ranges from man-eating flora to disgruntled devils and suburban salarymen (not that it's always easy to tell one from another), Collier's dazzling stories explore the implacable logic of lunacy, revealing a surreal landscape whose unstable surface is depth-charged with surprise.
