Fat Man in History

The first collection of short stories published by Peter Carey, whose other books include "Bliss", "Illywhacker" and "Oscar and Lucinda", which was awarded the 1988 Booker Prize. The stories, set in an ominous near-future that has a feel of contemporary life, are by turn bizarre and funny.

Prima colectie de povestiri publicate de Peter Carey, ale carui alte carti includ ,,Bliss", ,,Illywhacker" si ,,Oscar si Lucinda", care a fost distinsa cu Booker Prize in 1988. Povestile, plasate intr-un viitor apropiat de rau augur, care are o senzatie de viata contemporana, sunt la randul lor bizare si amuzante.
