About the Book

More than eighty riffs, rants, and microfictions by two old bums, er, that is, masters--perfectly complemented by the avant-comic artistry of T. Motley. Renowned throughout Europe and with books translated into fourteen languages, Raymond Federman is considered a major figure in world literature. In "The Twilight of the Bums "he teams with fellow-innovative fiction pioneer George Chambers (the two share the same birthday and shoe size) for a collaborative send-up of buddy-fictions from "Waiting for Godot" on down. At turns tender, hilarious, iconoclastic, and maddening, "Twilight of the Bums" is exemplary of the lettres-de-merde style Federman has designated "laughterature."

About the Author :
George Chambers was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1931. He is the author of four previous books, including "Null Set" (Fiction Collective, 1977). Raymond Federman (1928-2009) emigrated to the United States in 1947. In some thirty works self-described as "surfiction," "playgiarism," and "laughterature," he built a myth of himself out of his life story and its constantly changing and reinterpreted particulars, questioning language's ability to fully represent experience while at the same time continuing a passion to tell stories in new and inventive ways. His novel "Double or Nothing" won the Frances Steloff Prize for Innovative Fiction in 1971, and his "Smiles on Washington Square" won an American Book Award in 1985, in addition to numerous recognitions his books have received in Germany, France, and elsewhere. T. Motley wasn't born at all but sprang fully formed out of an inkstand. The creator of Hector, Aline the Alien, and many more comics and characters, he has been creating comics for over twenty years. More of his work can be seen at tmotley.com. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Review :
"Stan and Oliver, Frog and Toad, Bud and Lou, The Sunshine Boys, Bill and Ted, Bouvard and Pecuchet--but most of all Vladimir and Estragon--stand behind this book like defrocked priests at an inquest. Old men rule!, at least in the glimmer of a watery eye and inconstant heart." --Charles Bernstein
