Fiction. The ever prolific publisher and editor Douglas Messerli (Green Integer) has undertaken another seemingly impossible task: 10 stories apiece, in 101 volumes, to be published over the next 26 years, for a voluminous end-product of 1001 great stories. If anyone can do it it's Messerli and Green Integer Books. This first volume contains stories from Mario Benedetti (Uruguay), Can Xue (China), Jose Maria Eca de Quieroz (Portugal), Nikolai Gogol (Russia), Tommaso Landolfi (Italy), Valery Larbaud (France), Yuri Olyesha (Russia), Virgilio Pinera (Cuba), Arno Schmidt (Germany), and Mikhail Zoshchenko (Russia).
