Twice Told Tales

Daniel Stern's sparkling reinventions of six great literary works Twice Told Tales is a new take on some of literature's greatest stories. In a bravura performance, acclaimed novelist Daniel Stern channels the particular styles and spirits of six classic pieces-even the writings of Sigmund Freud-into unexpected new settings. E. M. Forster, Henry James, and Ernest Hemingway are updated in brilliantly drawn portraits, at once affectionate and satirical. Stern's approach is deft and witty, yet always attentive to the timeless characters and ideas with which he works.
