It is a triumph of the imagination.” —Gilbert Sorrentino “In Cigarettes, Mathews takes us more interestingly than ever into that unfinished work of art, the self, exposing powerful dependencies and subtleties in a cast of characters distinct and poised yet half-goping toward others and themselves. The plot, the tale, the laying bare, are intriguingly staged and timed in a novel as imaginative as it is disturbing.” —Joseph McElroy “Mathews has perfected a witty, supple, and aphoristic style, capable of many effects.… An odd and gratifying novel.” —New York Review of Books “There is a relentless quality of incident, but Mathews runs the whole sequence without a hiccough of implausibility or forced conjunction.” —Times Literary Supplement “A brainteasing game that is both absorbing and exhilarating.… As a stylist, Mathews manages to tinge familiar objects and places, such as New York, with a delectable strangeness.” —Publishers Weekly “Like a clever gamester, Mathews teases the reader with plot twists and jokes as he subtly but seriously examines the nature of perception.” —Booklist Other Books by Harry Mathews FICTION The Conversions Tlooth Country Cooking and Other Stories The Sinking of the Odradek Stadium The American Experience Singular Pleasures The Journalist POETRY The Ring The Planisphere Trial Impressions Le Savior des rois Armenian Papers: Poems 1954-1984 Out of Bounds A Mid-Season Sky: Poems 1954-1991 MISCELLANIES Selected Declarations of Dependence The Way Home Ecrits Français NONFICTION AND CRITICISM The Orchard 20 Lines a Day Immeasurable Distances: The Collected Essays Giandomenico Tiepolo Harry Mathews CIGARETTES Copyright © 1987 by Harry Mathews First Dalkey Archive edition, 1998 First Dalkey Archive Essentials edition, 2022 All rights In Memory of Georges Perec Contents Allan and Elizabeth Oliver and Elizabeth Oliver and
