Book Synopsis Turbo's Very Life and Other Stories by : Carroll Dale Short
Download or read book Turbo's Very Life and Other Stories written by Carroll Dale Short and published by NewSouth Books. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the eighteen stories in this retrospective of his best short fiction, Dale Short shows why he is one of the best prose stylists of his generation and why he deserves a break-out success. Short's writing has been hailed by Wally Lamb as "simultaneously mythical and modern; a wild ride," and Dennis Covington has called him "wise and compassionate, a major Southern writer." He writes here from many perspectives--male, female, first-person, third-person, grieving widow, newly divorced dad, jailed redneck, riverman laid up with heart trouble, conjure woman--and in every story the voice is as true as that of a child and as clear as fresh ice. The marvel of Short's prose is that the writing is so good it disappears, leaving the reader surrounded only by the story, which resonates long after the last word is absorbed. The other remarkable thing is how Short can go from comedy to tragedy within a single paragraph, sometimes within a single sentence, and then back again. His timelines here range from the Civil War to the near future, and the locales vary from a Kentucky mining town to the Gulf Coast of Mexico to the constellation Orion--all in all, a rare feast for the imagination. Stories that have appeared before only in magazines, this collection charts more than two decades of the growth and exploration of an author who won the first Redbook Fiction Prize at the age of twenty-seven, and whose acclaimed novel The Shining Shining Path was called by reviewers "Southern magical realism" and praised by Publishers Weekly as "boldly imaginative; a provocative spiritual odyssey." Publishers Weekly added, "Short takes risks in a single paragraph that many writers never attempt in an entire novel."

Book Synopsis Easy Money and Other Stories by : Steve Evans
Download or read book Easy Money and Other Stories written by Steve Evans and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-03-31 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""In a terrifically impressive collection of short short-fictions, Steve Evans takes us on a tour of the metaphorical sinkholes of suburbia. Via his observant eye and febrile imagination, we behold the mischievous and manic, the tawdry and tragic, and more. We come upon familiar scenes that then glow in a broadband delivery of hyper-realism. Second-hand books become a successful stalking strategy. A private letter-burning becomes a communal cleansing. In a final afternoon tea, a potential inheritance is consumed in gold-leaf-infused cakes. A deposit-secured wedding cake, a promised book of window paintings, a normal Bay-City tram ... never arrive."" Moya Costello, author of 'The Office as a Boat: a chronicle'

Babel's masterpiece, 'Red Cavalry' is the most dramatic expression of his dualism and in his simultaneous acceptance and rejection of his heritage heralds the great American-Jewish writers from Henry Roth to Saul Bellow and Philip Roth.
