None ever used books matched the power of these short works. There have only used books been a few other authors whose stories made such a mark. I also happened to read "Letter to Our Son" by Carey used books while browsing in a bookstore -- a very short tribute to his son's birth, but also great little story that sticks in my memory.

Each tale leaves a strong emotional impression -- I found myself eager to read the next, but not wanting to newman 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. |
