Franz Kafka, Jane Austen and Ernest Hemingway, Bernard Shaw, Isaac Bashevis Singer and Emily Dickinson serve as 'agitators.' Sharpe rewrites familiar tales creating new originals in his unique style and weltanschauung. Truth, in human hands, becomes conditional.Current eventsLiterary collectionsAmerican literatureCurrent eventsAmerican literature.818.609818.609Sharpe Mike1928-1874746MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910965772703321Candide the tenth and other agitations4485486UNINA
