Synopsis

The Paris Review asks: who hasn't survived a tax audit, a snowstorm, a break-up, or presided over a murder?

The next addictively clever Paris Review anthology is not a self-help manual; rather it is a wicked elaboration on the human effort to overcome--and instigate--trouble. Throughout these pages you will find men plagued with guilt, women burdened by history, scientists bound by passion, mothers fogged with delusion, and lovers vexed with jealousy. In the theme that encompasses every life, no protagonist--or reader!--is exempt.

Includes contributions from Stephin Merritt, Joanna Scott, Annie Proulx, Ben Okri, Wells Tower, Julie Orringer, Rick Bass
Snow by James Lasdun, Malinda McCollum, Norman Rush, Denis Johnson, Mary Robison, Charles Baxter, Miranda July, Richard Stern, Elizabeth Gilbert, Frederick Busch, and Charlie Smith.
