Twelve Impossible Things Before Breakfast
“I love the compression of the short story. It is as if I can hold the entire thing—theme, plot, character—in the palm of my hand. Novels are messy, untidy propositions. Bits and pieces always seem to get away from both the writer and the reader, no matter how careful we are. But short stories have a containment that nevertheless suggests infinity. A good short story throws long shadows. Like Coyote, the Native American trickster god, the short story throws a shadow that is not black and white b...ut full of color.
This book is a collection of twelve of my fantasy stories for young readers that have never been collected under one roof, so to speak. Three of the stories are absolutely brand-new—so new, in fact, that the price tags are still on them and they are in their original wrapping.
That’s a metaphor, of course. But so is this entire collection, I suspect.
Fantasy stories are like that: You say, "This takes place in nineteenth-century Scotland” or “Appalachia in the 1930s”MoreLess
