Goosestep

by Harold Jaffe

Overview

Fiction. "Harold Jaffe is a master of the disembodied voice. These fictions — transgressive, political, dryly comic — are grounded in an ancient tradition, that of the speech of the storyteller. Interlocutors talk as if out of dark caves, and the result is a marvel of conversation that takes the reader to places somehow beyond the 'real world,' only to comment, often searingly, upon its absurdities. Each of Jaffe's volumes has been ground- breaking, and GOOSESTEP is no exception. This is a book of great mastery, some of the most inventive fiction of our time."—Toby Olson
