Ed Park

An Oral History of Atlantis: Stories

In this utterly original collection, characters bemoan their fleeting youth, focus on their breathing, meet cute, break up, forget their passwords, write book reviews, translate glyphs, bid on stuff online, adjust their monitors, and search for solace in the sublime.

“Stellar…Park’s delightful tales, which are driven by provocative ideas, strange occurrences, and gripping plots, pay tribute to the legacy of Kurt Vonnegut in the best ways. This pitch-perfect collection will linger in readers’ minds for a long time.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Praise for Ed Park, Pulitzer Prize finalist

“I could not stop reading, thinking, and dreaming about Same Bed Different Dreams...
A feverish, mind-altering marvel of a book.”

“Wonderfully suspenseful, like watching a circus performer juggle a dozen torches...
sprawling, stunning.”

“Your view of 20th century history will be enlarged and altered by Ed Park’s mysterious and panoramic novel...
This is a Gravity’s Rainbow for another war, an unfinished war.”

“Same Bed Different Dreams is like no other novel I’ve read before—
a cabinet of wonders that demands to be read and reread.”

“An ingenious postmodern epic... Wizardly, funny, lyrical, poignant...
This tribute to the fractured peninsula’s citizens, diaspora, and allies is one for the ages.”

“What’s the collective noun for a school of stories so bright and brilliant, they ripple with humor, compassion, and wonder? Call them an ‘Ed Park.’”

“Funny, tragic, winsome screwball science-fiction prose poetry of ‘maximum lexical density’ that’s pure pleasure to read.”

"Ed Park is a magician of storytelling. These stories explore the multiplicity of time and space—artistic, historical, and psychological—and confront once and again the shapeshifting border between reality and unreality. With sly humor and deep understanding, Park makes the reader laugh from disquiet, and tear up from being seen."

"An Oral History of Atlantis is a snapshot of who we are and where we are as well as an offbeat map to where we might dare to go. The stories are mordant, inventive, heartbreaking, and above all else, profoundly human, and I'm already looking forward to a re-read."

Winner of The Los Angeles Times Book Prize
