I've always said that writing a good short story is much harder than writing a good novel. In a novel you can "waste" several pages padding out characters' backstories/motivations, but in a short story you have to do this much more smartly. Brent Knowles has, in the main, mastered this in these six short stories.
Some of the stories end rather abruptly - "Nikki 2.3" for example - leaving the reader wondering what's going on. It ends immediately after the revelation that the "real" world shows no sign of human life and that a fire has swept through the city. What has happened to cause this? What happens next?
Other stories though - "Mama" and "The Mogul's Wife" - are close to perfect in the way they provide enough detail so you understand the world of the story, and why the characters act as they do. Both these stories and "Fleshsmith" also describe intriguing possible future/alternative worlds.
Brent Knowles is an author with some intriguing ideas, and it will be very interesting to see how he develops over the years ahead.… (mehr)
