Art’s Place: Stories and Diversions par Michael Fedo
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.A very unique collection of stories, many with characters from a theme. The first story - Art's Place has characters going on about various artists in a conversation at a bar.
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.I was excited to receive this book because it was listed as containing a story about quilting becoming an Olympic sport - sounds intriguing! Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The stories are all fresh and interesting, putting a new, fun twist on usual situations, making them delightful to read. I highly recommend this book.
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.I was really looking forward to this collection because I love comic writing.

Three stars for effort and basic premise.… (plus d'informations)
This is a well-intended but crudely-written account of a dreadful incident in the supposedly progressive city of Duluth almost a century ago.

I understand that there is a later edition of this book, and I hope that some of the problems were solved there.
