Fiction. Short stories. The author of the acclaimed transgressive cult classic DEAR DEAD PERSON, also available from SPD, returns with this long-awaited second collection of brilliantly written, outrageously imaginative and comedic short stories. Benjamin Weissman is one of the true originals in contemporary American fiction. In HEADLESS, he turns his daredevil wit and fearless storytelling gifts on subjects ranging from Hitler's secret life as a skier to the philosophical musings of identical twin porn stars to the travails of the world's most sitcom-defying family. Weissman's dysfunctional, hilarious, and strangely moving tales of life in contemporary America are a real and unique treasure. "HEADLESS is at play with the world. It is fearless, fun, and sometimes filthy. Weissman invites you into an alphabet soup of delight in language. Eat up"--Alice Sebold.
