Adam Marek breaks Rol's First Rule of being a Published Author - namely 'Thou Shalt Not Be Born After 1972' (otherwise known as the 'Thou Shalt Not Be Younger Than I Am' commandment). That aside, his first collection - Instruction Manual For Swallowing - gives you everything you could want from a modern short story collection. As the blurb has it, Marek "writes tales of the fantastic, the grotesque, and the impossible - all set in familiar, even mundane worlds". Well, I'm sold. Read the full review at my blog.

Auszeichnungen
A new North American edition of an acclaimed short story collection, Instruction Manual for Swallowing explores what happens when ordinary people collide with bizarre, fantastical situations. A man discovers he has testicular cancer on the day that a Godzilla-like monster attacks the city he lives in; a kitchen-hand is put under terrible peer pressure in a restaurant for zombies; a husband and wife discover they are pregnant with 37 babies; and a man travels into the engine room of his own body to discover Busta Rhymes at the controls. The 14 stories are grotesque, hilarious, unnerving, and moving. No matter how outrageous the subject matter of the stories, they have at their heart genuine human experiences that are common to us all. Bonus BackLit materials will include two new stories and an interview with the author. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
