I SURVIVED CARACAS TRAFFIC: Stories from the Me Decades

by Richard Grayson ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 15, 1996

An eighth collection from an underground post-modernist who writes Barthelme-derived comic fiction crammed with details adopted from pop culture and the daily news. Troubled Barbie dolls, desiccated yuppies, and dysfunctional singles populate Grayson's slick lampoons--though the long title story, a resonant meditation on the themes of relationships, AIDS, and mortality, proves him capable of less self-conscious, more serious (though not less comic) work.
