<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Now in paperback, the exuberantly praised collection of short fiction--featured on the cover of "The New York Times Book Review"--that established Rick Moody as one of the leading literary voices of his generation.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Rick Moody's novels have earned him a reputation as a "breathtaking" writer (The New York Times) and "a writer of immense gifts" (The San Francisco Examiner). His remarkable short stories have led both the New Yorker and Harpers to single him out as one of the most original and admired voices in a generation.</p><p>These stories are abundant proof of Rick Moody's grace as a stylist and a shaper of interior lives. He writes with equal force about the blithe energies of youth ("Boys") and the rueful onset of middle age ("Hawaiian Night"), about Midwestern optimists ("Double Zero") and West coast strategists ("Baggage Carousel"), about visionary exhilaration ("Forecast from the Retail Desk") and delusional catharsis ("Surplus Value Books: Catalog Number 13.") The astounding title story, which has already been reprinted in four different anthologies, is a masterpiece of remembrance and thwarted love.</p><p>Full of deep feeling and stunningly beautiful language, the stories in Demonology offer the deepest pleasures that fiction can afford.</p><p> </p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Rick Moody</b> was born in New York City. He attended Brown and Columbia Universities. He is the author of four previous novels: <i>The Four Fingers of Death</i>, <i>Purple America</i>, <i>The Ice Storm</i>, and <i>Garden State</i>, as well as an award-winning memoir and multiple collections of short fiction. Moody is the recipient of a Guggenheim fellowship, and his work has been anthologized in <i>Best American Stories</i>, <i>Best American Essays</i>, and the Pushcart Prize anthology. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
