Fragile Things

Product Information

Yes, it's definitely time for a new American Gods novel, and another story collection while you're at it, Mr.

Her last thought, before that bullet, was that she was four months' pregnant, and that if we do not fight to create a future there will be no future for any of us. I like how human professor Hastings is when she talks about tragedy and how is clashes with Brenda's insistence in believing that the author has moral authority in the world he created. A man can walk into a diner and bump into a man he hasn’t seen for ten years who has a very dark and twisted tale to share. The writing itself is not that good, and uses an awful lot of cliches, in a kind of casual, isn't this amusing? The rest of the stories all have something interesting to say as well, and each is written in Gaiman's unique style.A mysterious circus terrifies an audience for one extraordinary performance before disappearing into the night, taking one of the spectators along with it. I may not like the whole poem or story, but I take some beautiful lines with me, and that's all I seem to need. Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders is a collection of short stories and poetry by English author Neil Gaiman. A fine copy of the first paperback edition (1st printing) of this collection of short stories by this popular author.

It is certainly something every short story enthusiast and fantasy fan, let alone Neil Gaiman fan will want to read. Good Boys Deserve Favors' (title taken from a mnenonic for learning music) is an ode to a bass that I presume the author played as a young boy, and is a little too short to feel quite as mystical as it wants to be. Inside somewhere maybe I was screaming and weeping and howling like an animal, but that was another person deep inside, another person who had no access to the lips and face and mouth and head, so on the surface I just shrugged and smile and kept moving. Here's what I think: Gaiman is successful because he is popular and slightly pushes boundaries in a currently fashionable, ie. On the whole most of the stories worked and the poems additionally added an extra level to this collection.

Tra le perle abbiamo comunque Uno studio smeraldo (Sherlock Holmes incontra Lovecraft), Presiede Ottobre (uno dei racconti che avevo già letto), L'uccello del sole (altro raccolto già letto, l'unico che ricordavo abbastanza bene), Gli altri (sull'Inferno). That alone could have made for a great story, but Gaiman takes it one step further, introducing strange dreams that portray Aslan and the White Witch as conspirators and lovers rather than enemies. Certainly not like I was grabbed by American Gods, Neverwhere, or the Preludes and Nocturnes (Sandman) series. Aunque debo decir que no me gustó particularmente, y probablemente sea de aquellas historias que olvide primero.
