Twenty stories from the Nobel Prizewinner, including Disguised, a transvestite tale of the yeshiva student whose deserted wife finds him dressed as a woman and married to a man, and the title story, which portrays Methuselah at the age of 969 -- and when you pass your nine hundredth birthday, you are not what you used to be.
This cunning, pungent new collection of stories from the 1970's and 1980's adds a characteristic twist to the materials of a long career. Robert Pinsky, The New York Times
