Alex and the Gypsy

by Stanley Elkin

Summary

In Searches & Seizures, Elkin tells the story of the criminal, the lovelorn, and the grieving, each searching desperately for fulfillment, while on the verge of receiving much more than they bargained for. Infused with Elkin's signature wit and richly drawn characters, The Bailbondsman, The Making of Ashenden, and The Condominium are the creations of a literary virtuoso at the pinnacle of his craft.
