«I cancelli dell'Eden» is the collection of short stories by Ethan Coen, published by Einaudi in paperback (230 pages, in Italian).
The stories draw a map of inadequacy: their characters seek a paradise that, when they find it, usually resembles a gloomy motel room. With humour and disillusionment, the author portrays the American dream from the perspective of losers, whom he considers more interesting and comic than winners.
This edition belongs to Einaudi tascabili. Scrittori (no. 1409) and includes an interview with the author by Antonio Monda.
For readers of short fiction with acid humour and for fans of the Coen brothers' films.
