The abyss of human illusion

Each of its 50 brief vignettes examines a semi-anonymous character (who may or may not have been lifted from one of Sorrentinos earlier works) and reminds us, through irony, wry humor, and an aching sadness, that life is something of a muddle, full of deceptions and denials but also brillliant epiphanies, propelled by coincidences great and small.

  • ""Titled after a line from Henry James, The Abyss of Human Illusion consists of fifty narrative set pieces full of savage humor and cathartic passion - an elegiac paean to the grimly comic, unsentimental, and quintessentially American world Gilbert Sorrentino so brilliantly captured in his long and storied career."--Jacket"
