If two gun-toting thugs decided to take over a business — and run it through sheer terror — how far would their methods take them? movies These are the questions that Peter Carey, author of The Tax Inspector and Oscar movies and Lucinda, brilliantly explores in this collection of stories. Exquisitely written and thoroughly envisioned, the tales in The Fat Man in History reach beyond their arresting premises to utter deep and often frightening movies truths about our brightest and darkest selves. Review: "One of Australia's most highly regarded novelists...accomplished, surehanded." Newsday Review: "Marvelous!" Boston Globe Review: "Destined to [be] one of the most widely read and admired writers working in English." Edmund White, The Times Literary Supplement (London) Review: "Peter Carey is to Sydney what Joyce was to Dublin....An absolute master of language and of storytelling. Bet your money on him as one of the great figures on the cusp of the millennium."
