Aprašymas

Fragments from a Shorter Work is an engaging series of stories into alternate worlds that existentially, inevitably, feel intimately prickly as the author explores personal freedom, self-discovery, and the rejection of blind conformity. Divided into four parts, and written over two decades, this wide-ranging collection presents fragmentary views of the world that, in some way or other, become greater than the sum of their parts: " Prologue to Prometheus" is a gathering of fresh flash fictions related in one way or another to Prometheus; " Fragmented Fragments" offers a diversity of tales that balance between vicious games and observations on the nature of Centaurs; " É tudes" dances playfully among myths, Biblical exegesis, what dogged Godot, to the essence of motels; " Nigeria, The Lost Journals" brings together far-flung experiences of teaching in Nigeria. This is not symmetry and order, not the landscape flowing in straight, clean lines... but with the thrills of this fragmented journey the reader is left to revel in the charged and vivid imagery that bring the wearer and the worn to become one: storytelling that is a truly engaging read!
