The End of Vandalism

Before its publication in 1994, substantial excerpts of American author Tom Drury's novel The End of Vandalism had already been published as minimalist stories in The New Yorker.[1] After publication, it was cited by New York Magazine as one of the nine best books of the year[2] and in 2002 GQ named it among their best 50 works of fiction of the past 50 years.[3]
