Short Stories by an Old-Fashioned Millennial
Author: Curt Anderson
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1796036218
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 119
Book Description
The publishing company said I needed a back cover introduction to this catastrophe. They said to use my Instagram bio. I don’t use Instagram! What part of “old-fashioned” don’t they understand? Here goes nothing. Hello there. If you’re anything like me—besides being delightfully dapper, cunningly creative, and stunningly sarcastic—you won’t buy a book without reading the back cover. Don’t. Sure, it might be entertaining at first, but by the final chapter, you’ll wish you had spent your time being beaten by a sack of rabid raccoons. It’s boring, it’s odd, and it’s grossly underpriced (the retail price was another one of the publisher’s recommendations). Don’t buy it for the wisdom you’ll revive. That can be found in any fortune cookie. The entertainment value is inferior to C-Span and even Jimmy Kimmel. That’s saying something. If you’re seeking a scandalous love story, you’re barking up the wrong tree. You also won’t find suspense between these covers. You’ll have to engage every ounce of your patience to just finish the introduction. Go ahead. I double-dog dare you.

A Kind of Flying: Selected Stories
Author: Ron Carlson
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393077659
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
"These stories are full of surprises, jolts, and lightning strikes of recognition. Do yourself a favor and read Ron Carlson." —Stephen King Ron Carlson's stories, sometimes wicked or bittersweet, often zany, are rich with a hard-earned hopefulness frequently absent in contemporary fiction. In this generous gathering from collections no longer available, longtime fans and new readers alike can savor the development of a master of idiosyncrasy. Properly celebrated for his range, Carlson offers us a rural sheriff who's wary of UFOs ("Phenomena"), a lawyer on a mission in remote Alaska ("Blazo"), a baseball player turned killer-by-accident ("Zanduce at Second"), and a nineteen-year-old who experiences an unsettling sexual awakening during an Arizona summer ("Oxygen"). Here also is a man accusing Bigfoot of stealing his wife, followed by Bigfoot's incomparable response. Not least of the treasures is "The H Street Sledding Record," a story perfect for family holiday reading, in which a young father creates the magic of Santa by throwing manure on his roof on Christmas Eve. This book proves Carlson's axiom that "a short story is not a single thing done a single way," and it offers us—finally—a full view of his remarkable talents.
