Truth Be Told: New & Collected Premortems
Truth Be New & Collected Premortems
A forthcoming collection of new and selected epigrams.
In Truth Be New & Collected Premortems , Thomas Farber extends a career-long narrative impulse to cheerfully merciless conclusions. Reverberating with deceptive economy and relentless wit, his subversive brevities evoke French epigrammists, Zen koans, and the pithy wisdoms of Country music. Unflinching, these beyond-short stories insist on the saving grace of language, the consolations of (gallows) humor. Included here as well are the author's three essays appraising the qualities of his ten-year love affair with these retorts, repercussions & wrys.
