Fliegelman's Desire — Lewis Buzbee

Fliegelman's Desire is a modern San Francisco version of the European urban wanderer. When Fliegelman's desire abandons him, he searches the city for her, only to discover that desire is everywhere, and as treacherous and lovely as ever. Calvino meets Kafka, translated by Elkin. A playful imagination and a charming way of animating the ordinary.
