Endgame and Other Stories — David Ignatow

A selection of sixteen short stories by the American poet written in the 1930s and 1940s, most published here for the first time. "I was a writer living from hand to mouth on marginal jobs," Ignatow writes in the Preface. "Today, it would be impossible to write these same stories and sketches in the tone and style in which they were written, but that, to me, is their unique being, their originality and strangeness." A limited edition of 300 copies were printed by Cathedral Press.
