Shortly after Patrick White would win the Nobel politics current events Prize for literature, a young author named Peter Carey would publish his first book of short stories, quickly followed by another. Both of these books would be compiled in 1980 and released as "The Fat Man in History," which is, quite simply, one of the greatest collections of short fiction I've ever read, ranking easily with the best of O'Hara, O'Connor, Borges and Calvino. |

| But trust me, after reading a few of these stories, you won't be satisfied knowing there are more out there. After reading this short story collection, I tried a new few of Carey's novels. None ever matched the power of these short works. There have new only been a few other authors whose stories made such a mark. I also happened to read "Letter to Our Son" by Carey while browsing in a bookstore -- a very short tribute to his son's birth, but also great little new story that sticks in my memory.

Not only does he create such fantastic settings and characters, but the actual ideas and metaphors he creates for each one are stunning and contain so much meaning. |
