The Loud Table by Jonathan Carroll

They called it the loud table because a group of bigmouths who loved to hear themselves talk sat together at the same table almost every morning and talked nonstop.

Jonathan Carroll Türkiye'de nedense hak ettiği ilgiyi görmeyen çok sevdiğim bir yazar. Dört tane de kitabı çevrildi Türkçeye, az sayılmaz yani. Bu öyküsü de romanlarında gördüğümüz yaratıcılığı, mizahı yansıtıyor. Özellikle iki farklı konsepti tek öyküde başarılı bir şekilde birleştirmesiyle ve okuru şaşırtabilmesiyle epey sevdiğim bir öykü oldu Gürültülü Masa.

This is an well written short story with a twist. You think you know what is going on, but you don't. It appears to be straight fiction, so to speak, but it isn't. It is a quick read, and quite fun. The voices sound genuine, and the search for a good cafe to hang out in is fun.

Read it all the way to the end, because otherwise you won't get it.

Yeah, that is the way it is with short stories. You give too much away, you spoil it.

You can read this story for free on the Tor site.

Not subtle enough and not as full of pathos as it could have been. Interesting premise though.
