Thrilled to Death

LYNNE TILLMAN is a novelist, and cultural critic, twice finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award. Tillman is the recipient of a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship and an Andy Warhol/Creative Capital Arts Writing Fellowship. She is the author of many books, including, for Peninsula Press, Weird Fucks, Motion Sickness, Haunted Houses, American Genius, A Comedy, Men and Apparitions, and Mothercare.

'This shimmering, career-spanning collection captures Tillman at her most beguiling, playful, and inventive... Tillman is infinitely clever and a master at concision, able to unspool both ordinary and epic tragedies in just a few pages. This is Tillman's best book yet.' Publishers Weekly'Of course, it would be this way, that the stories Lynne Tillman has bestowed all these years now record a kind of cyclone of sensations: the public and private affairs and catastrophes, the art and music we pulled close to us in order to survive, the city streets on fire with human noises and glances, the exhausting joy and delirious loneliness of living through it all. What a superb compendium of voices she's given us.' Jonathan Lethem
