None ever matched the power of these short works. There have only been fun 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 fun son's birth, but also great little story that sticks in my memory. fun Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Wildly imaginative and creative stories., February 24, 1999 Reviewer:ehan@hamquist.com (New York) - See all my reviewsThis collection of short stories by Peter Carey are the most imaginative stories I think I have ever read. 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. |

| his lover. The stories are difficult to describe further because they're not really "like" many other authors I can think of. The language and character interaction are spare but powerful (reminiscent of Joe Frank -- see joefrank.com), the stories are brief, often divided into terse sections/chapters and focusing on the bizarre or fantastic (like Vonnegut), and there is a recurring dave 'fat man' cd music theme of futility in impossible situations and suggesting a larger metaphorical meaning (evoking Kafka). Each tale leaves a strong dave 'fat man' cd music emotional impression -- I found dave 'fat man' cd music myself eager to read the next, but not wanting to finish too soon and exhaust the supply either.Although "Collected Stories" is the complete collection of Carey's short works, it isn't as available (in the U.S.) as is "The Fat Man in History." But trust me, after reading a few of these stories, you won't be satisfied knowing there are more out there. |
