These selected stories collect a bold, playful, and eclectic ensemble of Tillman's Borgesian fictions that span decades and traverse themes of sex, death, memory, and anxiety. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith argumentative wit, Tillman's meditations and reflections on art, politics, and culture are animated by deliciously paradoxical characters who desire and fret in turn, and who are imbued with searing intelligence and dolorous ambivalence. Describing Tillman's writing, Colm Tóibín says: \"Her style has both tone and undertone; it attempts to register the impossibility of saying very much, but it insists on the right to say a little. So what is essential is the voice itself, its ways of knowing and unknowing.\"","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50101918662879,"sku":"9781593768140","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/j9wBvFcuP69781593768140.webp?v=1781075886"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/lynne-tillman.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
