Reseña del libro "The Last Bizarre Tale: Stories (en Inglés)"

Though he has authored more than eleven novels including, Cassandra Singing, The Suicide'sWife, Abducted by Circumstance, and the recent London Bridge in Plague and Fire, DavidMadden has been publishing short stories for all six decades of his active career. The LastBizarre Tale consists of works that appeared in journals but that have not appeared togetheras a collection. Madden used two stories, "The Singer" and "Second Look Presents: the Rape of anIndian Brave," as chapters in his 1980 novel On the Big Wind. "The Headless Girl's Mother"was first published as a chapter in a serialized novel entitled Hair of the Dog. Two other storiesdeveloped out of longer versions of Madden's novels. "A Demon in My View" is part ofa sequel, not yet published, to Bijou. All of the stories in David Madden's third collection are distinguished by variety of contentand by shifting styles and often innovative techniques. They are to varying degrees andin various ways bizarre in their characters and their relationships, in the kinds of internaland external conflicts, and in locales and themes. The title story, The Last Bizarre Tale, involvinga corpse that has hung on a hook in a funeral home garage for decades, is evocativeof Poe and, in its dark, grotesque humor, Flannery O'Connor and Carson McCullers."Process is as important as product to David Madden," writes editor James Perkins, "and one can learn as much about the process of writing as about the human condition by acareful reading of these stories."
