FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description No Purdy work has dazzled contemporary writers more than this haunting tale of unrequited love in an indifferent world. A seedy Depression-era boardinghouse in Chicago plays host to "a game of emotional chairs" (Guardian) in a novel initially condemned for its frank depiction of abortion, homosexuality, and life on the margins of American society. Author Biography James Purdy, born in 1914, is undergoing a major literary renaissance. The author of Malcolm and now The Complete Short Stories of James Purdy, he lived in New York until his death in 2009. Review Eustace Chisholm and the Works is a remarkable achievement. Purdy is a master of the horrible, the wildly funny, and the very sad.--Angus Wilson Review Quote "James Purdy should be placed alongside William Faulkner in the Gothic corner of American literature."
