"No other word for it: a charming book." Peter S. Prescott, Newsweek
This 1986 satire of the midlife crisis follows newly single Simon, who moves into his own apartment and shockingly becomes the sex toy of a harem of lingerie models living down the hall. But Simon is such a worrier that instead of enjoying the ultimate male fantasy, he fears he is only being set up for a fall (no wonder his wife ditched him).

Paradise is agile, witty and lightened by Barthelme's canny disassociations, and it is one of the blackest things he has written. --Richard Eder
Although Donald Barthelme has written 12 previous books of fiction containing some of the most innovative influential stories of our day reading Paradise is a shock and a revelation. --Elizabeth Jolley
There's nothing in art as dazzling and bewildering as a fully achieved style at its apex . . . Though superficially Paradise seems to be a modest little caprice, Barthelme strikes every note . . . and the cascade of consonances he pours out really does seem to offer too much beauty for a conventional 1987 sensibility to see the sense behind it. --Michael Feingold
