Fiction. In these short stories, Garber blurs the margins between reality and fantasy to create an "eerie domain of magical ambiguity. the work of a grandly talented storyteller" -William Kennedy. Winner of numerous awards for fiction, and a Distinguished Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Albany, Garber writes what Joyce Carol Oates once called "almost real" stories that are vivid, surprising and provocative. Brimming with both the quotidian and the transcendent, "underneath there is always a powerful story pumping and pumping, carrying everything with it" -Norman Lavers.
