From the Academy Award-winning "Fargo" to the cult classic "Blood Simple", the Coen brothers' films have earned them passionate critical acclaim. Now, in GATES OF EDEN, his debut collection of short stories, Ethan Coen brings to the page the same impossible mix of offbeat humor, brutal irony, unexpected tenderness, and pure slapstick comedy that has won him his reputation as one of the most distinctive filmmakers working today. Fine, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. L113.

A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

A hapless private investigator who loses his hearing after having one ear bitten off, a maverick weights-and-measures man who gets pulled into a sinister blackmailing scheme by a seductive Japanese woman, a college kid so desperate to avoid an office job that he tries to break into boxing and organized crime: the characters in Gates of Eden grapple with their place in the world, trying to comprehend what fate has placed before them. With these stories -- sometimes heart-felt, sometimes brutal, always wildly entertaining -- Ethan Coen delivers everything you would expect from such an original imagination.
