Vienna Øø
Fiction. "In stories that travel from the cultural center of Europe to the primitive heart of the Amazon, Garber inhabits a charged historical moment to probe--and play with--deep intellectual and aesthetic dualities: art and science, genius and madness, passion and polite society. VIENNA OO is a delicious Mobius strip of a book that examines the contradictions of the human mind and spirit. A feast"--Ron Maclean.
Metaphysical Tales
Think of reading these stories as a process of unearthing our deepest desires. What do our heroes seek? Often familiar goals-admiration, love, divine favor. But whatever it is, the first lesson they have to learn is that it's not to be found on the surface of things. It's not to be easily won.
The Historian
Winner of the William Goyen Prize for Fiction Eugene Garber's masterpiece of the imagination takes readers on a rich fictional odyssey that is a meditation on the American character and experience. Moving back and forth in time, populated by memorable characters that include Henry Adams, Isadora Duncan, and Lincoln Steffans, the story follows the historian's quest to find the American woman, whose vitality has been all but written out of history by puritan consciousness.

Vienna ØØ
VIENNA ØØ, the first of Eugene K. Garber's EROICA TRILOGY, is populated by characters who closely resemble actual luminaries of fin de siècle Vienna -- Mahler, Schiele, Klimt, Freud. But the real hero of the book is the city herself. And the inexorable movement of the book is one of disrobing, an exquisite striptease.
Beasts in Their Wisdom
Fiction. In these short stories, Garber blurs the margins between reality and fantasy to create an "eerie domain of magical ambiguity. the work of a grandly talented storyteller" -William Kennedy. Winner of numerous awards for fiction, and a Distinguished Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Albany, Garber writes what Joyce Carol Oates once called "almost real" stories that are vivid, surprising and provocative. Brimming with both the quotidian and the transcendent, "underneath there is always a powerful story pumping and pumping, carrying everything with it" -Norman Lavers.
The House of Nordquist
In The House of Nordquist, the final novel of The Eroica Trilogy, Eugene K. Garber creates his most demonic character of the series. Deep in the infernal regions of the bizarre house of his mad father, the Faustian Eric Nordquist conducts an atrocious experiment. He will extract from the body of a Holocaust victim sounds for a world-changing symphony. Day after day he stands at his synthesizer transforming the sounds of a maimed body into appalling skeins of lachrymose reverberations. But his theft of the life force of his subject is not his only transgression. He sucks everyone around him into the vortex of his mad dream of a cleansing cataclysm. His most devoted follower Paul Albright not ...
O Amazonas Escuro
Fasten your seatbelts for a wild ride! The adventures of K, a scientific anthropologist who is hell bent on bringing rational order to his descriptions of the culture of a tribe of Amazonian indigenes. But the tribe will not have it, persisting in its mythological treatments of sky, river, animals and self.
