A writer Time magazine has said "everybody should read," Sam Lipsyte, author of the New York Times bestselling The Ask , offers up The Fun Parts , a book of bold, hilarious, and deeply felt fiction. A boy eats his way to self-discovery, while another must battle the reality-brandishing monster preying on his fantasy realm. In another story, an aerobics instructor, the daughter of a Holocaust survivor, makes the most shocking leap imaginable to save her soul. These are just a few of the tales, some first published in The New Yorker , The Paris Review , and Playboy , that unfold in Lipsyte's richly imagined world. Other stories feature a grizzled and possibly deranged male doula, a dooms-day hustler about to face the multi-universal truth of "the real-ass jumbo," and a tawdry glimpse of the northern New Jersey high school shot-putting circuit, circa 1986. Combining both the tragicomic dazzle of his beloved novels and the compressed vitality of his classic debut collection, Venus Drive , The Fun Parts is Lipsyte at his best--an exploration of new voices and vistas in the form with which he began.
