As a teenager, I found Peter Carey's The Fat Man In History by complete accident on my mum's shelf and the work absolutely flawed me. I didn't realise that stories like this existed, it led me to Burrows, Kafka, Gogol.
Carey has produced mostly amazing work ever since, but these short stories and Bliss remain my favourites. Having them all in one book is an extraordinary trove.
