‘One of the most soulful writers in America, and a national treasure’ George SaundersFrom a master of the short story, this is a beguiling collection of nineteen tales about growing up, wising up and falling in love

‘One of the most soulful writers in America, and a national treasure’ George Saunders

Nineteen tales of growing up, wising up, and falling in love, spanning more than three decades of prize-winning work by a North American master of the short story

The Start of Something is a visionary work following the lovelorn beatniks, hard-boiled gangsters and jaded academics of America, journeying through a haze of drugs, dreams and lucid memory. Seductive and freewheeling, each story glittering with the found poetry of the street, this is the definitive introduction to a life’s work by a writer who has re-enchanted short fiction with every new collection.
