From a master of modern American letters comes an enthralling collection of brilliant short fiction about people who, as E. L. Doctorow notes in his Preface, are somehow ';distinct from their surroundingspeople in some sort of contest with the prevailing world.' Containing six unforgettable stories that have never appeared in book form, and a selection of previous classics, All the Time in the World is resonant with the mystery, tension, and moral investigation that distinguish the fiction of E. L. Doctorow.A reader's guide can be found online atRandomHouseReadersCircle.com
