First published in 1991, and now issued in a second edition, comprising short short fictions most written in the eighties, A Modern Way to Dieby Peter Wortsman, predates the invogue term flash fiction, but its surely one of the cornerstones of the tradition, (according to short form pioneer Pete Cherches). As Wortsman notes in the books original foreword, these texts appeared in the absence of big things to say [] guided only by the precarious optimism of the pen. Conceived as a disjointed compendium of narrative treatments of lifes common denominator, death, the books spare hit and run aesthetic gravitates from enhanced neon hyperrealist reportage to nightmare parable to plummet the surreal substrata of the American Dream.
