In ten jarringly original stories and a prize-winning novella, Rick Moody paints a world of frustration, yearning, lies, decay, and obsession as he introduces a dissonant band of outsiders. "Expressive brilliance . . . written in a brilliant nightmarish style".--Los Angeles Times.

"...[I]ntense and unnerving...[A] narcotizing tour de force of sex, drugs and dementia."

Elissa Schappell, Vanity Fair, August 1995

"In 'The Ring of Brightest Angels Around Heaven', an enigmatic novella and ten stories, Rick Moody has created a collection of characters searching for contact--communication in the highest sense of the word....Like the misfits of his work, Moody's stories themselves are eccentric, and they too reach out to make connections....[T]hese stories actively communicate with literature, film, and culture....A great deal is going on in this collection, it rewards delving and is entertaining to boot. It's no wonder Rick Moody is winning acclaim."

George Plimpton
