Neuware - What I love most about each of these enigmatic, glistery, beautiful, and intricately inventive stories is their valuable celebration of and commitment to the Difficult Imagination.

All I Can Truly Deliver marks the arrival of an important new talent to the festival called exploratory fiction. -- Lance Olsen There is the world and then there is the world. In his 'Cover Stories' Matt Vadnais uncovers the paradox of 'realistic' fiction. One need not go out and bring 'em back alive when one has the more real and inventive terrain of the library. Write what you know goes the verisimilitude saw, and All I Can Truly Deliver knows what it know. These stories are maps more detailed than the merely real things they represent. --Michael Martone In his deeply imagined, skilfully crafted first collection, Matt Vadnais demonstrates the vitality of the fiction canon as well as the versatility, the possibility, that fiction can achieve in the 21st century. -- Mary Clearman Blew.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - These eleven stories--E. R. Catalano's winning story, 'News from My Father,' and ten ?nalists--show the range possible in the contemporary literary short story and offer a snapshot of some of the best writing by established and emerging literary talents. From a pool of over six hundred stories, some published in very well-known journals, and many unpublished, our panel of readers selected these ten finalists, the best of the best, in 2004. E.R. Catalano's winning story, 'News from My Father,' was chosen from these finalists by our 2004 judge, Robert Olen Butler himself, who has this to say about the story: ''News from My Father' is a clear winner.

The narrative voice is clean and fluent and the story never loses sight of the human truths beneath the surface.' Including stories by: Thomas P. Balazs, E. R. Catalano, Ariana-Sophia Kartsonis, Roy Kesey, Glorida DeVidas Kirchheimer, Karen Kovacik, Dylan Landis, Kelly Magee, Lynn Veach Sadler, Marianne Taylor, and Charles Yu.…
