$17.53
A Hellenistic god who can't escape his past. A rock band whose music is so bad it paralyzes from the waist down. A black-market vegetable genetically-modified for self-abuse. These are just a few of the stories of melancholy and wonder inside THE GYMNASIUM, an exercise in "literary taxidermy" by the author of FLOAT THE POOCH. By "re-stuffing" what goes in-between the opening and closing lines of classic works by Milan Kundera, Philip K. Dick, Thomas Wolfe, Ian Fleming, and others, Mark Malamud has assembled nineteen new and wholly-original fictions. "THE GYMNASIUM demonstrates re-sampling isn't just for music." - re/ART "At turns funny, sad, serious, and surreal - none of these stories will let you down." - Robert Kramer "A roller-coaster of styles and voices, all anchored to the simple but powerful idea of re-imagining someone else's words as your own." - Storybook
