Description

For the very first time in book--an amount of thirty seven diabolically creative tales, myths, and "difficult interviews" in one of the truly amazing fantasists of the 20th-century, exhibiting the entire depth of his vision and wit.  Written between 1943 and 1984 and genuinely interpreted by Tim Parks, the fictions in Figures at nighttime show all Calvinois stunning presents: whimsy and terror, exuberance of design, and a pleasant understanding of the absurdities of the human situation.
