A Wild Swan: And Other Tales by Michael Cunningham
5.0
I'm a sucker for fairy tales, so I loved this book of short stories.
Cunningham takes the fairy tales we all know (and a couple of lesser known ones) and builds upon them in a very real-world sort of way. Not so much planting them in the modern world and rewriting them or creating likeable backstories, like many authors have done, but instead blending the two world's together and crafting real world emotions and outcomes.
My only complaint is that the book is too short. I would have read so much more!
