See details on Amazon. | This collection of short stories, although all set in Texas, abound with subtle references to other works. These include the story of Erysichthon, Rudyard Kipling's "The Village that Voted the Earth Was Flat," Ludvig Holberg's Erasmus Montanus, and others. Despite being a short collection, each work has a poetic density; and indeed many stories are prefaced with a strictly parsed original poem that, after a reading of its story, meditatively unfolds its meaning. |
