Simplicity finds enormous power in Dan Rhodes's offbeat collection of short (very short) stories. With his award-winning Timoleon Vieta Come Home and chick-lit send-up (under the nom de plume Danuta De Rhodes) The Little White Car, his authorial range became obvious. Now his remarkable collection, Anthropology, only enhanced Rhodes's reputation. Declared one of Granta's Best Young British Novelists in 2003, Rhodes possesses a talent for understated wallops and profound humor, which he devotes to unraveling sex, love, dating, and the confoundingly beautiful, inscrutable girlfriend in these short (but intense) musings.

The micro-fiction classic from Dan Rhodes
Praise for Dan Rhodes's
Anthropology
"You hungrily absorb this book the way you do Nietzsche's aphorisms: You look for truths; you look for yourself; you look for explanations. Of course this is more fun than Nietzsche because there are more laughs. Rhodes boils down the stories of love
between men and women to their comic,
sad, and mad essentials: why we want each other
and why we repel each other."
--Jonathan Ames, author of
The Extra Man and What's Not to Love?
"Complex and playful--crushingly wicked moments make it perfectly bite-sized reading."
--The Times (London)
"Endearing, witty and allusive . . . sits comfortably on a short shelf alongside Richard Brautigan."
--The Independent
