Dreaming down-under
I hesitate using the L word on this, Christmas morning, because, you know, everyone is walking around with that distant, vacant look in their eyes. That look that says, stop talking, please, I'm bloated and can't think, and I can use a little hair of the dog that bit me, this fine, blessed morning.
But anyway, most short story collections I've read and enjoyed have been of the Literary nature, with everyday, common settings and with emphasis on the characters. What struck me with Peter Carey's collection is his imagination with setting and plot. A few of the stories involve weapons, a couple is Sci-Fi and surrealist, and on the whole his characters are harsh and cynical, his stories well written, well paced, and engrossing. It's a great collection.
Merry Christmas. There's some eggnog left in the fridge.
