Adam, One Afternoon

This collection of playful, deadly febles is populated with waifs and strays, a gluttonous thief and a mischievous gardener. The grimly comic story The Argentine Ant moved Gore Vidal to declare 'if this is not a masterpiece of twentieth-century prose writing, I cannot think of anything better'.

Aceasta colectie de povesti jucause si mortale este populata de vagabonzi si caini rataciti, un hot lacom si un gradinar nazdravan. Povestea sumbra si comica Furnica argentiniana l-a indemnat pe Gore Vidal sa declare: ,,daca aceasta nu este o capodopera a prozei secolului al XX-lea, nu-mi pot imagina nimic mai bun".
