The Twilight of the Bums

More than eighty riffs, rants, and microfictions by two old bums, er, that is, masters—perfectly complemented by the avant-comic artistry of T. Motley.

Renowned throughout Europe and with books translated into fourteen languages, Raymond Federman is considered a major figure in world literature. InThe Twilight of the Bumshe teams with fellow-innovative fiction pioneer George Chambers (the two share the same birthday and shoe size) for a collaborative send-up of buddy-fictions fromWaiting for Godoton down. At turns tender, hilarious, iconoclastic, and maddening,Twilight of the Bumsis exemplary of the lettres-de-merde style Federman has designated “laughterature.”
