New Hampshire Literary Award WinnerNPR Books Summer Reading SelectionMy favorite collection of short stories in recent memory. NANCY PEARL, NPR Morning EditionProfound . . . with more to say on the human condition than most full books. . . . A remarkable collection, with pitchperfect leaps of imagination. Minneapolis Star TribuneHorvath doesnt just tell a story, he gives readers a window into the hearts, minds and souls of his characters. Concord MonitorWhat if there were a city that consisted only of restaurants? What if Paul Gauguin had gone to Greenland instead of Tahiti? What if there were a field called Umbrology, the study of shadows, where physicists and shadow puppeteers worked side by side? Full of speculative daring though firmly anchored in the tradition of realism, Tim Horvaths stories explore all of this and more blending the everyday and the wondrous to contend with ageold themes of loss, identity, imagination, and the search for human connection. Whether making offhand references to Mystery Science Theater, providing a new perspective on Heideggers philosophy and forays into Nazism, or following the imaginary travels of a library book, Horvaths writing is as entertaining as it is thought provoking.Tim Horvath teaches creative writing at New Hampshire Institute of Art and Bostons Grub Street writing center. He has also worked parttime as a counselor in a psychiatric hospital, primarily with autistic children and adolescents. He lives in New Hampshire with his wife and daughter.
