The Man Who Grew His Beard GN
No Customer Reviews
The Man Who Grew His Beard collects seven short stories. Though eachstands alone, they are intertwined thematically, offering peeks into the mindsof semi-autistic, achingly isolated men, their feverish inner worlds and howthey interact and contrast with their real environment. Though Schrauwen taps'surrealist' or 'absurdist' impulses in his work, youwill not read a more careful and precise collection of stories this year. Thestories included are: "Hair Types," a hilarious piece that on thesurface explores the pseudoscientific classification of personality as afunction of hair but becomes something more akin to a fable aboutself-fulfilling prophecy; "Chromo Congo," a silent story about twomen on safari who meet a corpulent and obnoxious hunter; as well as "TheTask," "The Man Who Grew His Beard," "The Lock,""The Cave," and "The Imaginist."
