About this product
Product Information
A middle-aged man beheads his wife, then calmly explains how she drove him to it . . . A fat little mafioso is going to war--in the clean, well-mannered streets of Minneapolis . . . A Jewish boy watches with wonder the rise and fall of a Hebrew school rebel--and sees the sadness at the heart of his own family. . . . Welcome to the world of Ethan Coen, one half of the filmmaking team that has unleashed a visionary, brutal, and uproarious portrait of America in such screen classics asFargoandRaising Arizona. Now Ethan Coen translates that vision to the printed page--in fourteen keenly imagined, sharply etched short stories. Blending parody with pathos, making the heinous heartbreaking, Coen demonstrates his unique gift for stunningly inventive narrative, brutal irony, offbeat characters, and crackling dialogue, delivering everything you would expect from such an original imagination.

Reviews
"Often funny, sometimes disturbing. . . Mr. Coen has sounded the jagged dissonance of the American experience." --Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times "In Gates of Eden, the co-creator of such films as Fargo and Blood Simple delivers blackly humorous and often unsettling vignettes. . . .All the Coen brothers trademarks are here. . . funny. . .compelling stories." --USA Today "A distinctive voice and an offbeat worldview. . . All of these stories take place in Coen Brothers Land, a parallel universe similar to our own--except it's weirder, funnier and better edited." --The New York Times Book Review "The discriminating viewer who enjoyed [Coen's] distinctive and quirky films will like the equally unconventional Gates of Eden. Coen delights in juxtaposing tone, character and setting to comic and chilling effect." --The Washington Post, "Often funny, sometimes disturbing. . .
