Best known for his complex and beautiful novels—regularly compared to those of Thomas Pynchon, William Gaddis, and Don DeLillo—Joseph McElroy is equally at home in the short story, having written numerous pieces over the course of his career that now, collected at last, serve as an ideal introduction to one of the most important contemporary American authors. Combining elements of classic McElroy with tantalizing stories pointing the way ahead (the spare and dangerous “No Man's Land,” the lush and mischievous “The Campaign Trail”), Night Soul and Other Stories presents a wide range of work from a monumental artist.

    I did not need to die in my own country; and then I did not die at all.

    I must read only children’s books (Mandelstam writes),

    Cherish only children’s thoughts,

    Scatter all big things far and wide,

    Rise up from the deep-rooted sadness.

    I know what he means, but…

    Employment: that’s number one right now…

    What is my job? The future. Helping this boy…

    The Bridge in pieces and angles of itself—adrift like our seasons.
