Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
From a master of modern American letters comes an enthralling collection of brilliant short fiction about people who, as E. L. Doctorow notes in his Preface, are somehow "distinct from their surroundings--people in some sort of contest with the prevailing world." Containing six unforgettable stories that have never appeared in book form, and a selection of previous classics, All the Time in the World is resonant with the mystery, tension, and moral investigation that distinguish the fiction of E. L. Doctorow.
Includes bibliographical references.
Wakefield -- Edgemont Drive -- Assimilation -- Liner notes: The songs of Billy Bathgate -- Heist -- Walter John Harmon -- A house on the plains -- Jolene: A life -- The writer in the family -- Willi -- The hunter -- All the time in the world.
A collection of short works includes the stories of a couple who become estranged after a mysterious man claims he grew up in their house, and a Russian bus boy who is entangled with an organized crime ring.
