About the Book

From "Ragtime" and "Billy Bathgate "to "World's Fair, The March, " and "Homer & Langley," the fiction of E. L. Doctorow comprises a towering achievement in modern American letters. Now Doctorow returns with an enthralling collection of brilliant, startling short fiction about people who, as the author notes in his Preface, are somehow "distinct from their surroundings--people in some sort of contest with the prevailing world." A man at the end of an ordinary workday, extracts himself from his upper-middle-class life and turns to foraging in the same affluent suburb where he once lived with his family. A college graduate takes a dishwasher's job on a whim, and becomes entangled in a criminal enterprise after agreeing to marry a beautiful immigrant for money. A husband and wife's tense relationship is exacerbated when a stranger enters their home and claims to have grown up there. An urbanite out on his morning run suspects that the city in which he's lived all his life has transmogrified into another city altogether. These are among the wide-ranging creations in this stunning collection, resonant with the mystery, tension, and moral investigation that distinguish the fiction of E. L. Doctorow. Containing six unforgettable stories that have never appeared in book form, and a selection of previous Doctorow classics, "All the Time in the World "affords us another opportunity to savor the genius of this American master.

Review :
Advanced Praise for" All the Time in the World" "Virtuoso Doctorow is revered for his grandly dimensional novels, but he is also a superlative and transfixing short story writer. The incandescent new stories and forever stunning vintage tales...that Doctorow selected for this powerhouse collection portray psychological outliers on the edge of either liberation or an abyss. Doctorow is rightfully treasured for his social acuity and fluency in urban life, but he is also a penetrating observer of nature and our concealed primal selves....Like iron trellises wreathed with flowering vines, Doctorow's complex and masterful tales of the strangeness, pain, and beauty of life are wise and resplendent...A landmark collection from a preeminent and popular writer who elevates the best-seller lists with each new book." --Booklist "The new and previously published stories in All the Time in the World are a reminder that, for decades, Mr. Doctorow has been a first-rate artist in the short form, able to coax forth readerly empathy for almost all his creations...Mr. Doctorow is now 80, and as the assessments of his long career commence, it is clear that he has been, like his characters, a man apart from his contemporaries. The stories of All the Time in the World do not seem to belong to any school or style but to emanate from his own solitary visions." -WALL STREET JOURNAL "Wonderful descriptions [and] gorgeous sentences...seem to fall effortlessly from Doctorow's fingertips....Doctorow's stories generally come back to the melancholy reality of imminent doom -- yet they are rarely dreary and can be, in fact, quite funny. His characters, trapped as they are, manage to make a ragged music by rattling their chains." -CHICAGO TRIBUNE "Distinctive, sharply focused, glistening with crisp language....Wherever they take place, these memorable stories reflect a novelist's intimate understanding of human frailty and penchant for delusion....[Doctorow] iss Advanced Praise for" All the Time in the World" "Virtuoso Doctorow is revered for his grandly dimensional novels, but he is also a superlative and transfixing short story writer. The incandescent new stories and forever stunning vintage tales...that Doctorow selected for this powerhouse collection portray psychological outliers on the edge of either liberation or an abyss. Doctorow is rightfully treasured for his social acuity and fluency in urban life, but he is also a penetrating observer of nature and our concealed primal selves....Like iron trellises wreathed with flowering vines, Doctorow's complex and masterful tales of the strangeness, pain, and beauty of life are wise and resplendent...A landmark collection from a preeminent and popular writer who elevates the best-seller lists with each new book." --Booklist
