Among them are some of Stanley Elkin's finest, including the fabulistic \"On a Field, Rampant,\" the farcical \"Perlmutter at the East Pole,\" and the stylized \"A Poetics for Bullies.\" Despite the diversity of their form and matter, each of these stories shares Elkin's nimble, comic, antic imagination, a dedication to the value of form and language, and a concern with a single theme: the tragic inadequacy of a simplistic response to life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920590356638,"sku":"ING-9781564782342","price":27.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781564782342.jpg?v=1782825182","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781564782342","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
