Forty Stories by Donald Barthelme
3.0

Barthelme is one of the authors which defines postmodern and deconstruction for me. Each story is not only a new story, but also a new way of telling stories.

It's probably worth to start with Sixty Stories. I read them a very long time ago, but in memory they are better than this one.

Doesn't mean it isn't worth reading.

“The Secret Police said:
We have secrets. We have many secrets. We desire all secrets. We do not have your secrets and that is what we are after, your secrets.”
