Matt Cohen

Lives of the Mind Slaves

Matt Cohen's stories have been widely anthologized and have appeared in distinguished periodicals and journals in Canada, Britain and the United States. Lives of the Mind Slaves features 7 short stories -- one of which (`Trotsky's First Confessions') was written especially for this book -- and a brilliant novella.

Cohen's novella, `Golden Whore of the Heartland`, explores the conflict between the spontaneity of passion -- a chance affair -- and the comfort of commitment and belonging. `The Sins of Tomas Benares' explores the theme of love over generations. 'Café Le Dog' is a celebration of all that remains inexplicable in the attractions between men and women. `Racial Memories' is vintage Cohen -- a story about a not-so-classic Jewish family.

Lives of the Mind Slaves contains the best of Cohen's two previous short story collections, Café Le Dog and Living on Water.
