| Summary: | "In The Woman Who Wrote 'King Lear,' Louis Phillips has created a wild and imaginative collection, reminiscent of some of the strangest and least conventional authors ever to have put pen to papers: Barthelme, Borges, Barth. You won't be moved to tears, but you will likely be moved to laughter. And, in some cases, you will be re-considering the very definition of a short story. What is the theme connecting these stories? Madness, perhaps, but not only the madness of single characters. Madness as well of entire communities, the "madness of crowds." Read these stories, but be prepared to confront new realities, some of which you may never entirely escape."--BOOK JACKET.
