Synopsis "One Foot out the Door: The Collected Stories of Lewis Warsh "

Fiction. Over 20 Years of Stories. "What a pleasure to have all these stories by Lewis Warsh in one volume! They tend to be low-key, almost off- hand, but each with a poetic kernel that infects and defuses throughout, which makes them (though it is a critical cliche to say it this way) haunting. But that's what they do. They haunt. That's what the best writing does, often without excessive flashiness or even letting us know, as the narrative drifts through the material from which each is constructed, how it's done. These are extraordinary tales." Samuel R. Delany "Lewis Warsh's narrative always speaks to itself from a lyric threshold. A postmodern Delmore Schwartz yearning, mordant, suspenseful." Gloria Frym "Lewis Warsh moves through the crowded street, a reporter, pad in hand and pencil behind ear. The sentences hold the simple truths of his heart. That amidst the nearly incomprehensible violence of daily life one reality is a singular desire love. The purity of love, the essence of love. Recalling the quiet resonance of Salinger, drawing the curtain on the horror of inhumanity, settling down on rumpled sheets, alone or in reach of salvation, Lewis reports with poet- investigator eye that love has come to save the day." Thurston Moore "The straight-from- the-shoulder idiom that powers Lewis Warsh's writing is a marvel of economy. Evoking memory without nostalgia, moving the reader without sentimentality, the stories in ONE FOOT OUT THE DOOR are lucid, formally adventurous, and emotionally complex. Like Stephen Dixon and Leonard Michaels, two other masters of plainspoken cosmopolitanism and rueful reflection, Lewis Warsh uses ordinary language as a means to an extraordinary inventiveness." Christopher Sorrentino"
