What We Talk about When We Talk about Anne Frank: Stories - Paperback

by Nathan Englander (Author)

From the Pulitzer-nominated, bestselling author of For the Relief of Unbearable Urges, eight powerful stories, dazzling in their display of language and imagination.

"Showcases Mr. Englander's extraordinary gifts as a writer." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

From the title story, a provocative portrait of two marriages inspired by Raymond Carver's masterpiece, to "Peep Show" and "How We Avenged the Blums," two stories that return to the author's classic themes of sexual longing and ingenuity in the face of adversity, these stories affirm Nathan Englander's place at the very forefront of contemporary American fiction.
