Contemporary Fiction

[jd]

Well, firstly, Just a Couple of Days, which I've reccomended here
before.  In the Flesh I think did well in Germany but I haven't met
anyone who's heard of it over here and I enjoyed that quite a bit as
well, another one printed by the same company would be The Obscene
Bird of Night by Jose Donoso, and i don't know if this one's been
passed over or not but I haven't really seen it around (and it's
pretty new), X Out of Wonderland, a re-working of Candide for the
global market.

Oh, and The Short Stories of Breece D'J Pancake, which I think were
lauded at the time but again, one I haven't heard of from other people
much.  He had a very strange suicide.  The foreward to the book seems
to hint that it wasn't really a suicide.
