Da Vincis Bicycle, Guy Davenports second collection of stories, was first published in 1979, and contains some of his most important fiction. Written with tremendous wit, intelligence, and verve, the stories are based on historical figures whose endeavors were too early, too late, or went against the grain of their time. They are all people who see the world differently from their contemporaries and therefore seem absurd, like Pablo Picasso in 'Au Tombeau de Charles Fourier,' Leonardo Da Vinci in 'The Richard Nixon Freischtz Rag,' James Joyce and Guillaume Apollinaire in the marvelous 'The Haile Selassie Funeral Train.' Hilton Kramer of The New York Times has said, 'Davenports conception of the short story form is remarkable. He has given it some of the intellectual density of the learned essay, some of the lyrical concision of the modern poemsome of its difficulty tooand a structure that often resembles a film documentary. The result is a tour de force that adds something new to the art of fiction.' Esteemed writer and translator Guy Davenport's brilliant story collection, first published in 1979, is recognized today as a classic of American fiction. Written with tremendous wit, intelligence, and verve, the stories are based on historical figures whose endeavors were too early, too late, or went against the grain of their time.
