The Short Story IS an Art Form all its own., July 6, 2010
This review is from: The Most Powerful Tailor in the World (Audio Cassette)
THE MOST POWERFUL TAILOR IN THE WORLD: THE BEST OF PLAYBOY FICTION: An anthology of short stories published in Playboy the best of which is
THE MOST POWERFUL TAILOR IN THE WORLD a very early work by Michael Crichton about a man who has the power to set things on fire with his mind and is blackmailing the United States
and
USED IN EVIDENCE by Frederick Forsyth..a clever murder mystery set in Dublin about which I will say nothing except recommended.
and then there is
KING BEE by T. Coraghessan Boyle. A nasty story that uses the torture death of a small dog as a dramatic trick and which I personally cannot stomach. Different tastes might think otherwise.
YOSSARIAN SURVIVES by Joseph Heller a lost chapt from CATCH 22. If you think that book was anything more than a childish piece of 60s counterculture literary masterbation then this is for you.
A MIDSUMMER DAYDREAM by Donald Westlake. An amusing Damon Runyon style trifle about the box office robbery in upstate NY in which a thief on the lam is falsely accused thus putting him in the odd position of playing detective.
