Opis

One Bite: Stories for Short Attention Spans, Stolen Moments, and Busy Lives -- John Sheirers short stories chronicle moments that seem ordinary. A middle-aged man sends his first text message. A simple knee surgery goes in an unexpected direction. An innocently friendly wave invites ridicule. The neighbors dogs wont stop barking. But, in the hands of a master storyteller such as John Sheirer, these moments become far from ordinary. Sheirers stories range from "hint" fiction of a few sentences, to "flash" fiction of one to four pages, to a few traditional-length stories. Most of the stories have won awards or been published in print and online literary journals. They are often humorous and occasionally poignant, always showing the trademark wit and wisdom that has made Sheirers well-received memoirs so popular. Each story from this award-winning writing teacher provides surprise, delight, and an odd take on the world that only sharply written fiction can provide.
