Daniel Quinn’s short fiction bookends his career. The Book of the Damned was published in 1982, six years before his debut novel Dreamer and ten years before Ishmael brought him to national attention. It represents an early stage in Quinn’s development as a writer, produced while he was still employed in educational publishing.
Sleepwalking Thru a Marriage appeared in 2020, two years after Quinn’s death, making it one of his last published works. Together, these two pieces span nearly forty years and offer a look at Quinn’s storytelling outside the novel format that defined most of his public reputation.
