Twice Told Tales

This may be the most unusual love story in contemporary fiction—the love affair between an American writer and five great writers of the past. Daniel Stern reinvents six great literary works and puts his own signature on them in this imaginative collection of short stories. “The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund A Story” has appeared in The O. Henry Prize 1987 and Best American Short 1987. “The Psychopathology of Everyday Life by Sigmund A Story” won the Paris Review’s John Train Humor Prize.
