 Short Stories, Love & Death, etc. January 4, 2007
Very short stories, some are even amusing. A book for the guest room.

A pig wearing dark glasses and a leather pocketed change apron was waving around a stack of newspapers in a busy station lobby:
Pig: "Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Porky Catches Dodo Bird!"
Daffy (approaching): "When?"
Pig: "Nunah,nun,nun...,Now!", as Porky dispatches him with a swift sledgehammer blow atop his feathered head.

"The World's Shortest Stories of Love and Death," edited by Steve Moss and John M. Daniel, is an anthology of stories that do not exceed 55 words in length. The introduction refers to the 55-word story as a "sub-genre of the short story." This collection demonstrates the possibilities of this sub-genre.The stories cover a broad range of subject matter: technology, murder, sexual orientation, greed, lust, etc. The editors include science fiction and the supernatural. There are riffs on established literary works, and lots of pop culture references. Although some selections are gimmicky, overall this is a good collection. A number of stories end with a twist. The book ends with a section entitled "How to Write a 55-Word Story," which should be particularly useful for teachers.

This sweet little collection of very humorous,sad, and horrific(and that is in just one story)short stories is a lot of fun to read.Just like pistachio nuts...can't stop at one...so I read it all in one sitting...which isn't difficult of course!I'm buying the rest in the series today.Remember: This is no huge novel filled with profound thoughts on every page. This is a little tiny book,filled with profound thoughts on every page!So chill out and accept it for what it is: A fun read...most of the time...and keep an eye out for sadness just around the corner.
