by Thomas Hartl (Editor), Ronald Sukenick (Author)

Volume I of The (Collected) Stories of Ronald Sukenick contains all those short stories by the author which were published between 1953 and 1971. This also includes all the stories of Sukenick's first collection of short fiction, The Death of the Novel and Other Stories, published in 1969.

RONALD SUKENICK (1932-2004) was one of the most important innovators, editors, and critics of US-American literature. His eight novels, three collections of short stories, and four books of nonfiction/theory, published between 1968 and 2005, have variously been described as avantgarde, energetically performative, dissident, revisionistic, and a threat to all hierarchies. Educated at Cornell University, New York, and Brandeis University, Massachusetts, Sukenick taught as Professor of English at the University of Colorado, Boulder, from 1975 to 1999, where he was also director of the creative writing program. Sukenick co-founded the publishing house the Fiction Collective (now FC2) and edited the journals American Book Review and Black Ice Magazine.
