A Bar in Brooklyn: Novellas & Stories, 1970-1978

Since emigrating to the U.S. from his native Romania in 1966, Andrei Codrescu has blazed a rocket-bright trail across the cultural landscape of his adopted country, gaining a national audience as public radio commentator, television personality and editor of the radical literary journal Exquisite Corpse . He has also commanded considerable critical recognition for his poetry ( Alien Candor , Black Sparrow, 1996), and fiction (most notably, his novel about his Transylvanian homeland, The Blood Countess , 1995).
