Wild Turkeys & Other Stories
ISBN: 9780595474479 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Jack Swenson has yet to be nominated for a Pushcart Prize, and his submissions are snubbed by many prestigious journals, which in his opinion is shocking and disgraceful and smacks of bias against old, straight, white men. Legal action is pending. Meanwhile, he carries on, scribbling his stories on scraps of paper and the sides of barns. His fiction has been described as bold, wise, funny, courageous, and aware. He is the author of five self-published books of short fiction. (He plans to sue the major publishing houses, too.) In spite of the lack of demand for his voluminous output, he labors...

The Night Heron's Scream: Flash Fiction
ISBN: 9780595463930 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 181 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Some of the stories are rewrites of old ones, but most of them are new. In this collection I have tried to avoid cute or self-promoting stories, some of which polluted my earlier efforts. There's nothing heroic, nothing cute here. At least that was my goal.
If you like bite-sized reads, I think you will like these stories. You can read the book at a sitting or a story or two at a time. Take the book to bed with you and read a couple of these little tales before the Sandman gets there. Pleasant dreams. Some of the stories are rewrites of old ones, but most of them are new. In this collection I have tried to avoid cute or self-promoting stories, some ...

Becoming Young: Very Short Fiction
ISBN: 9780595509355 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Read these stories carefully. Read them one, two, three times. There's more here than meets the eye.
Some of the stories are fictions; some are not. Some are what I call "fictional memoirs"-make believe with a bit of truth mixed in. There are a few rewrites of old stories, too. My favorite stories are those where something's left out, where you can't see the whole tapestry, just a single thread. Pull on the thread and see what is revealed. You'll be surprised. Read these stories carefully. Read them one, two, three times. There's more here than meets the eye.

Local Hero: & Other Stories
ISBN: 9780595443819 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) People have asked me why I don't write a novel. Well, one or two people have asked me that. I always reply that I am a sprinter and not a long-distance runner. Indeed, I prefer the fifty to the hundred-yard dash. The short form is a lovely thing. For years I have admired its economy, its punch, its subtlety. It's a perfect vehicle for me because I like to cut to the chase, and I don't like long-winded descriptions. Then, too, I see life as a comedy rather than a tragedy. Tragedy works better with lots of words; whoever heard of a five-hundred-word tragedy? On the other hand, comedy can be...

The writing is lean and mean, often humorous, and...
