Not a Jot or a Tittle: 17 Stories by Robert Pope
Robert Pope’s Not a Jot or a Tittle offers us 17 concise, beautifully written short stories, each a door into the author’s rich imagination, each bubbling with substantive reflections, and all set in atmospheres where the touch of fantasy provides an opening to myth, hybrid creatures, alien landscapes, cyborgs, and most importantly, an exploration of the depths of human emotion ‘in the thick of it all.’ It’s not often that one comes across such a wonderful collection—this one will occupy a central spot in my library for years to come!
