Jaws by Donald Barthelme
|
Stress causes a couple to take to biting to make their points. Their behaviour makes their adviser wonder how he can help.
Born in Philadephia, Donald Barthelme was known as a regular contributor to The New Yorker magazine until his death in 1989. He published over a dozen book-length collections of fiction, winning many major honors, including the American National Book Award, and was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Described in the New York Times Book Review as 'the thinking man's—and woman's—minimalist', his work often communicates a sense of life as absurd, and bizarre incidents abound.
The reader is Humphrey Bower.
