Synopsis
A little boy looks at a star and makes a wish. A young woman, newly divorced, confronts an important moment from her past. A man who prefers solitude is forced to entertain an unwanted guest. A pregnant woman stares down at a gravesite and ponders her future. These are a few of the characters and situations you will meet in The Weary Heart, a brand new collection of stories and sketches by that up-and-coming, albeit almost entirely unknown, author, Simon Ott. The stories have a small town atmosphere about them, are short, medium, and long in length, don't skip on depth yet are easy to read. In fact, one reader - namely, Mr Ott himself - described their style as being "like a silky river, slipping smoothly along for the most part but then bam! suddenly turning into churning rapids or dashing itself against a rocky shore, only to then flow on smoothly once again." All of which is true enough - but the stories included here are written much better than that. Promise.

The Weary Heart (Paperback)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. It's been said that any work of fiction is more or less autobiographical because it reveals the shape of the author's mind, his or her attitude towards life and living, his or her prejudices, sense of humor, political leanings, etc. It can, in short, be a revelation of the author's personality. This is as true in a collection of shorter works as it is in a single longer one; the greater variety of situations, characters, points-of-view, and plot lines in a collection of stories gives color to the authorial persona in a manner similar to the larger canvas of the novel. The persona in the case of The Weary Heart is stable, grounded, perhaps even slightly old-fashioned with regard to the approach taken to the tales included. The lead characters are male and female, younger and older, facing a variety of situations, all of which, if not situations we've faced ourselves, are ones that can be easily understood and imagined. Stories take place in suburban/small town settings. The collection's total length is that of a novella; individual stories range from very short to, in a few cases, fairly lengthy. Enjoy. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9798235000629
