In the Heart of the Heart of the Country & Other Stories

"This collection...serves to focus the distinctive qualities of his sensibility and style....Gass is 'old-fashioned' in his insistence that human language is an immediate extension of human feeling and cognition. But what makes him modern is how much he knows--like John Barth, Thomas Pynchon and Walker Percy he is one of the philosopher-novelists who bring a new intellectual power to the basically transcendental American sensibility. It is writing like this that will achieve, if it is at all possible, a saving continuity with tradition as it attempts to save human feeling and individuality for art.Gass, William H. is the author of 'In the Heart of the Heart of the Country & Other Stories', published 2005 under ISBN 9780879233747 and ISBN 0879233745.
