1.This Wild Darkness: The Story of my DeathThis Wild Darkness: The Story of my Death
from Holt Paperbacks

Customer Review:
I had only read Brodkey's collection, Stories in an Almost Classical Mode, probably a dozen years ago, and admired his writing.

2.Stories in an Almost Classical ModeStories in an Almost Classical Mode
from Vintage

Customer Review:

from Holt Paperbacks

Customer Review:

from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $30.00

Customer Review:
Anyone who heeds Federico (Fred) Moramarco's review of Harold Brodkey's novel "Profane Friendship," might decide against attempting this long and challenging book, but they would do so ill-advisedly.
Other Amazon.com visitors may have seen Mr. Moramarco's topic--"Great descriptions, but not for... more info
