Seen Reading is the exciting debut collection of microfictions from Canada's pre-eminent literary voyeur, Julie Wilson. Based on the beloved online movement of the same name, Seen Reading collects more than a hundred stories inspired by sightings of people reading on Toronto transit, each reader re-invented in a poetic piece of short fiction. Tender, poignant, and fun, Seen Reading offers readers an inspired fictional map while charting an urban centre's cultural commitment to books and literature. "Beneath the surface of Julie Wilson's energy, biting wit, and quirkiness lies intelligence and insight--a fresh observer to the dynamic ways in which we communicate."--Anthony De Sa "I spy, with my little eye, something that is utterly delightful. Take a peek at Julie Wilson's Seen Reading. There are treasures to be found within."--Ami McKay "With Seen Reading, Julie Wilson has done something revolutionary for the time: seamlessly combine books-related gossip, arts reportage, and creative writing in every post. The results are exhilarating and deliciously voyeuristic."--George Murray, Bookninja.com Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I am a fan of micro-fiction, and Ms. Wilson is very good at it. In just a few words, she is able to generate feelings and emotions and a depth of perception.
Where this collection fell down for me was in trying to understand how the stories related to the book selections of the readers. Some seemed to; others didn't; and for several, I just didn't know. I enjoyed the book more when I ignored the link to the literature. ( )
