A wildly successful technology executive grapples with his personal demons. A Hollywood screenwriter suffers through a decades-long romance with a mentally unstable actress. An alcoholic professor turns against the people who once exalted him. A marvelous and devastating short-story collection by one of America's greatest authors, Robert Stone's FUN WITH PROBLEMS features dynamic protagonists brought low by their own tragic flaws and the unrelenting mercilessness of the world and time.

Media Reviews
"Stone's evocative prose treads through the murky waters of dead dreams and waning hopes, bringing out the nasty side of people warped by addiction, sex, violence and time....[He] doesn't just let his wounded characters whimper in the corner. He turns them loose on a world hard enough to knock them down but indifferent enough to not care about them once they're gone." (starred review)
