Under the pen name of E. V. Cunningham, he is also a master of the mystery novel. But it is only in Howard Fast's short fiction that we truly experience the incredible range of his talent, his wit, his humor, and his imagination. This superb collection of 31 short works juxtaposes tales of the fantastic and the bizarre with stories touched by pathos and stirring emotion. In his two longest pieces, The Hunter and The Trap, Fast presents us with visions of hope and death. In such wryly funny stories as The Hoop and The General Zapped an Angel, he brings us satire filled with unexpected twists. Often playful and always multilayered, these are stories that will delight us with their wisdom . . . and entertain us with Fast's unmistakable storytelling genius. Size: 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall.
