This review is from: Hotel "Million Monkeys" : And Other Stories (Paperback)
I read this book twice and I am going to read it again. In the epigraph for the opening story Victor Brook uses the old sailors saying, "Sailing the sees is necessary, living is not as necessary". True, the characters of Brook's stories are not just living, they are desperately searching for the meaning of their lives. The stories are very poetical, philosophical, lyrical, the language is colorfull and inventive. Get your hands on this book as soon as possible!

5.0 out of 5 stars Genuine literature in an age of popular fiction, October 31, 2001
By 
John Bradford (Hollywood, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hotel "Million Monkeys" : And Other Stories (Paperback)
It is refreshing to read genuine literature in an age of popular fiction. Victor Brook's writing combines imagination with interpretative meaning in each of his short stories. These stories appeal to the inner soul and are adventures in life at its best, at its worst, and in the extraordinary. "A Ceiling with Lizards," for instance, is captivating and evokes thought about why the protagonist ever went to India. The mystery behind each story leads you further into the mind of Victor Brook and encourages you to read more. Victor Brook is an artist with words, and his stories are straightforward and characteristic of literature, which belongs to a generation of uniquely gifted authors.

First Sentence:
Alone at last, the teacher took a few steps, frowning at the boards under his feet (as creaky and dirty as everything else in the village), looked through the window at the late fall, and turning abruptly, stared through his scratched eyeglass lenses at the empty classroom. Read the first page
