Proper Name collects for the first time the inimitable stories of Bernadette Mayer- one of the most original writers of her generation (The Washington Post).

The nineteen narratives of Proper Name include My Excellent Novel,
Ice Cube Epigrams,
Essay: How Carefully Do We Tend? and Juan Gave Nora a Pomegranate. Mayer’s structural inventions are terrific and unique. As Fanny Howe remarked in The American Book Review, In a language made up of idiom and lyricism, Mayer cancels the boundaries between prose and poetry.
