Thrilled to Death by Lynne Tillman

From the author of Weird Fucks, a new selection of stories about sex, death, memory, and anxiety

Over the last four decades, Lynne Tillman has established herself as one of America’s most audacious writers, a tireless innovator whose shorter works have reimagined the story form.

Thrilled to Death collects a bold, anarchic, and eclectic ensemble of Tillman’s fictions. By turns outrageous and melancholy, meditative and abrupt, these stories are animated by deliciously paradoxical characters who are imbued with intelligence and ambivalence.

Curated by the author, this definitive collection will surprise and delight established fans and new readers alike.

LYNNE TILLMAN is a novelist, and cultural critic, twice finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award. Tillman is the recipient of a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship and an Andy Warhol/Creative Capital Arts Writing Fellowship.

Praise for Thrilled to Death

‘[Tillman’s] stories seem to best foreground certain aspects of her writing: a determined oddity of address to the reader, a playful but pitiless application of ideas, and a comedy that might be most astringent over the space and time of this shorter form . . . An incomparable writer.’ Brian Dillon, 4Columns
