Alberto Manguel has selected 72 fantastic tales from life on the edge of the twilight zone, with stories from Marguerite Yourcenar, Herman Hesse, Italo Calvino, Vladimir Nabokov, and many, many more. This is a collection of irresistible masterpieces, many of which have never before appeared in the English language. <i>Fantastic literature</i> Manguel writes in his introduction, <i>makes use of our everyday world as a facade through which the undefinable appears, hinting at the half-forgotten dreams of our imagination. Unlike tales of fantasy, fantastic literature deals with what can be best defined as the impossible seeping into the possible, what Wallace Stevens calls <b>black water breaking into reality</b>. Fantastic literature never really explains everything, it thrives on surprise, on the unexpected logic that is born from its own rules.</i> 51764 book 13 6 1984 Black Water: The Anthology of Fantastic Literature total:46|5:27|4:16|3:3|2:0|1:0| 46 208 126 3 5 1 false false Thu Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 1996 Wed Aug 01 11:04:48 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 01 11:04:48 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Mar 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 02 09:26:40 -0800 2008 Mon Mar 02 08:11:11 -0800 2009 The Subway.
