Bright Orange Sweater-Coat is the product of four years of musings in the most formative period of this young author. Encompassing a wide range of subjects, it is a potpourri of thoughtful ruminations and light-hearted reflections. This talented young man, who will without a doubt become a major voice of our age, elicits both hearty laughter and genuine introspection from any reader. His narrative voice is nothing short of delightful as he weaves his stories, essays, and his novella The Women of Andrôs. Timothy Goddard, with a stockpile of diverse knowledge characteristic of a Renaissance man, puts to shame the hordes of youthful writers who meekly test their voices. This collection is Mr. Goddard's confident expression rooted in rare talent.
