In a career that spans more than twenty-five years, Jerry Bumpus has published nearly 120 stories in such notable magazines as Esquire, The Paris Review, and The Best American Short Stories. Now the most intense and original of his short fictions have been brought together in The Civilized Tribes: New and Selected Stories. Grounded in a world that is almost familiar, inhabited by people who are not quite ordinary, these eleven tales will take readers far south of the psychological comfort zone, into a borderland of dark sensibility, brilliant humor, and unsettling sex. Jerry Bumpus, saluted in the 1960s as the king of underground writers, emerged in the 1990s to the broader acclaim that his innovative work has long deserved. The Civilized Tribes: New and Selected Stories reveals Bumpus as the sole occupant of his own category in American fiction.
