The Naked I: Fictions for the 70s

The naked i is a collection of fictions by twenty-five writers who in various ways change or challenge our perceptions of the world. They do this by shattering conventional expectations: about time, about ‘character’, about appearance and reality, about the boundaries between fact and fantasy, about narrative technique (as regards both form and style). The naked i is edited and introduced by Frederick R. Karl and Leo Hamalian, two American authorities on modern fiction.
