This Is Not a Tragedy : The Works of David Markson Ariadne in the Grotesque Labyrinth Ordered by two mysterious, intimidating men to "write a statement of about 100 pages," the narrator of Chinese Letter - who's not even sure of his name, but calls himself Fritz - faithfully records the twisted experiences of his daily life: his absurd conversations with his mother, his visits to a friend who works in the hospital's morgue, and his sister's tumultuous marriage to the butcher's son, to name a few. The first of Basara's works to be published in English, Chinese Letter is not only wildly funny, but is also one of the most inventive works of contemporary European literature.
