Cadenza
ISBN: 9780916583057 / Angielski / Miękka / 1984 / 227 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. First published in Ireland in 1958, this fantastic excursion of the mind, which moves between Dublin and Dundalk on a train headed for the scrap heap after fifty years, also reminds the reader of Tristram Shandy, Finnegans Wake, Ulysses, and At Swim-Two-Birds. But while Leopold Bloom is peripatetic in his Dublin Odyssey, Cusack's Desmond locks himself in train carriage 304D and orders out sandwiches, whiskey, and beer. A brilliant tour de force melding time, place, and memory.

Under the Shadow (Revised)
ISBN: 9780916583934 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 137 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Under the Shadow"?takes the form of fifty-nine brief sketches with simple nouns as titles. These exquisite vignettes take place on a plane at once surreal, abstract, and ominous, describing a set of people and incidents derived largely from fragments of conversation and gossip gathered here and there. They are reminiscent of Raymond Roussel's characters amid his inimitable ersatz pastorals, with tableaux both innocent and grotesque. There is something ambiguous about these passages, something deliberately closed and dreamlike. Many of them read like primal scenes of private pathologies;...

Pack of Lies: A Trilogy
ISBN: 9781564781543 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 564 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Gilbert Sorrentino is one of the most accomplished innovators in twentieth-century fiction, a position that is everywhere confirmed in this trilogy of novels, ?"Odd Number," ?"Rose Theatre," and?"Misterioso." Beginning with a series of interrogations (we never do find out why they are being conducted) about characters drawn from other Sorrentino novels and concluding with the reappearance of the same characters, ?"Pack of Lies"?is Gilbert Sorrentino's testament to the supremacy of art and society, and a vicious comedy portraying a world of fraud and mayhem.
