Fiction. LGBT Studies. Translated from the Slovenian by Rawley Grau. "Boris Pintar's terrific new collection, FAMILY PARABLES, executes a series of beautiful backflips on our notion of the tale. Here we find, locked in fierce embrace, the marvelously delicate inflection of Robert Walser and the fearless, full-throttle verve of Kathy Acker. Each story serves as a bracing introduction to an important new voice in international fiction"--Laird Hunt.
