We Others: New and Selected Stories by Steven Millhauser
4.0
Soo fun if you like a little taste of the fantastic but not too much! Theres a great one about an idyllic town that is terrorized by a mysterious man who just comes up to people, slaps em (really hard!) and then is just gone!
or another one about a guy who used who visits his long lost best friend from college when they were both big enviro guys,(our hero sold out, while his friend remained committed to the cause). As it turns out this friends ongoing commitment now includes a beautiful farm and a strange “marriage” to a humongous Frog! Friends, what can ya say, sometimes you grow apart.
Anyway they can sound kinda stupid, but i promise they're way kool. if you love borges , or Kelly Link, or Karen Russell, or George saunders, Milhauser is ur man! (I’ve heard these folks grouped under the label Fabulism which is maybe sorta pretentious but it has helped me find some really sick authors so who cares)
Also has a sweet cover
