** A contemporary classic encompassing big ideas in the most bite-sized, entertaining packages! **
Flash fiction, short stories of the highest order, each of a highly memorable nature, including fascinating characters and unique, original scenarios, spanning a wide variety of genres but never failing to provoke and critique in all manner of valuable ways our world and its complications, while remaining hopeful and optimistic, staying positive and encouraging we each (like the the author's admired role model Mahatma Gandhi) be the change we want to see in the world. The final tale in this epic, proletarian-aligned volume, occasionally magical realist tendencied in the spirit of a modern One Thousand and One Nights, is particularly noteworthy for its unforgettable contribution to the literary tradition of human and animal rights allegory, would make a stunning film adaptation by someone like Tim Burton or Guillermo Del Toro. If there are any European film buffs who enjoy Vittoria de Sica (Umerto D, the Bicycle Thief), I highly recommend you read this, it speaks so knowledgeably and urgently on class, social justice, and inherent struggles therein! A hackneyed and overused analogy, but these stories are truly akin to potato chips, their length is so perfectly compact that one has trouble reading just one, putting the collection down, quite addictive and captivating bedtime reading of a most provocative variety.
