The Coming Triumph of the Free World: Stories

Rick DeMarinis possesses a power and an originality unique in contemporary American fiction. The Coming Triumph of the Free World, his second story collection, puts his flamboyant gifts on display: an amazing verbal energy, a blackly comic vision of the world as an immense booby trap, and a technical virtuosity that modulates from down-and-dirty realism to fractured fable to surreal and searing visions of madness.
