Gates of Eden is a collection of short stories written by Ethan Coen, first published in 1998. The title comes from one of the stories in the book with reference to the biblical Garden of Eden. The stories within the book range from traditional fiction (both of third and first person) to stories formatted more like a script. There is an abridged version on audiobook which includes 11 of the 14 stories read by famous actors, many of whom have starred in Coen brothers films.
