Until one day, emptying out an old, unmarked box in his family’s cramped New York City home, he came across a hefty manila folder. Out slid the only remaining copy of \u003ci\u003eThree Tenses.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe piece of writing that Park found—“a voice lesson, a language experiment, an autobiography with lies, a document of sustained artistic bliss of a sort that I have never found again”—was an assemblage of beguiling anecdotes, sly observations, and collected esoterica, produced within the confines of the shoebox apartment of his twenties and only now allowed to see the light of day. Two Ed Parks emerge on the page: within the prose of the young, struggling writer arises the voice of the artist he would become.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProfound, wily, and beautifully wrought, \u003ci\u003eThree Tenses \u003c\/i\u003eis a meeting of memory and myth, confession and obfuscation, coalescing to offer a singular picture of creativity in action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEd Park\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eSame Bed Different Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and winner of the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e Book Prize; \u003ci\u003ePersonal Days\u003c\/i\u003e, a finalist for the PEN\/Hemingway Award; and \u003ci\u003eAn Oral History of Atlantis\u003c\/i\u003e, his debut story collection.
