In none other of the author's books is this imagination so clearly on display as in \u003ci\u003eThe Thinking-About-Gladys Machine\u003c\/i\u003e, his 1970 debut collection of stories. It gathers a variety of Levrero's earliest and most formally inventive publications, ranging from dazzling single paragraph micro-fictions à la Donald Barthelme to adventurous Lewis Carroll-esque tales of forty pages' length.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom the shocking surreal twists of 'Beggar Street' to the Escher-like grammatical maze of 'The Boarding House', via the pseudo-fairy tale classic 'The Basement', this book explores uncanny domestic spaces, using the structures of the stories themselves as tools for re-inventing narrative possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"And Other Stories","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45786947715119,"sku":"9781916751064","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/2855\/6847\/files\/imageloader_f97904b3-6752-4332-9373-c022647f97e5.jpg?v=1786145146","url":"https:\/\/tssbooks.com\/products\/the-thinking-about-gladys-machine","provider":"tssbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
