A collection of stunning short fiction from the O. Henry Prize–winning author of Siege 13. “Dobozy’s prose is an artistic and intellectual boon” (Publishers Weekly).
Upon the publication of Siege 13, Jeff VanderMeer, in the Washington Post, stated, “the sheer variety of Dobozy’s approaches to telling stories, and his commitment not only to provoke thought but to entertain, constitute a virtuoso performance. Siege 13 is without question one of my favorite story collections ever.” But the seeds of the Canadian writer’s genius were already germinating in his first book, Last Notes.
In the tradition of Aleksandar Hemon’s The Question of Bruno and David Bezmozgis’s Natasha, Last Notes is a stunning debut collection of short fiction that nails with deadpan irony the dislocations of exile and the disconnects of daily life.
“At a time when front-rank short fiction is characterized either by an overworked, familiar formalism with thematic safety or by outré stylistic departures and enigmatic resolutions, Tamas Dobozy is a breath of fresh air.” —Quill & Quire
“The stories that comprise Last Notes have a staying power, a bleak charm that remains long after you put down the book. His narratives may duck and weave a bit, but in the end they land home.” —Bookslut
