- Synopsis
- From the author of Inner Tube and Odditorium, a book of strikingly original, convention-defying short storiesCardinal Numbers is a posthumous collection of brilliantly enigmatic short fiction by Hob Broun, written with the aid of a respirator when the author was paralyzed from the neck down. Witty and full of minimalist surprise, these stories flirt with fragment, fabulism, and collage. In &“Rosella, in Stages,&” an old woman&’s experience is movingly charted through the voice of her writing in six different life stages—and in six pages, no less. &“Highspeed Linear Main Street,&” a standout tale and an artistic credo of sorts, centers on a photographer&’s fixation on highway life, while the surreal &“Finding Florida&” features a Che Guevara who becomes struck with longing for a librarian and receives some unwelcome news from a fortune teller.Powerfully felt as well as mordantly funny, Cardinal Numbers is a freshly singular contribution to the American short story.
