Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Many of today's most celebrated and up-and-coming writers have climbed the narrow staircase to the splintered podium at New York City's KGB Bar to share their work at the Sunday night fiction series. This funky East Village watering hole, once the expat meeting house of Ukrainian socialists, has grown over the last decade into one of the choicest venues for literary talent. On the Rocks compiles stories from some of the most talented writers of today, including David Gates, Mary Gaitskill, Jonathan Lethem, and Aimee Bender. Edgy, hard-bitten prose comes shoulder to shoulder with the lyrical and the fanciful, capturing the full range of voices in contemporary fiction. In subject and style, these pieces roam far and wide, but they all share the spirit of a night at KGB: provocative, daring, and dynamic. Synopsis:The KGB Bar Reading Series has grown from a small offbeat collective in a funky bar to a nationally recognized premier showcase for both established and up-and-coming writers. Bringing together both cutting-edge and significantly established writers, this anthology, which features new works as well as those previously published in literary magazines, captures the full range of voices in modern fiction. About the AuthorRebecca Donner has been Literary Director of the KGB Sunday Fiction Series since 1998, and received her MFA from Columbia University. Her first novel will be published in Spring 2003.
