Phone Rings ReviewThe author chronicles the life of Stu and his brother Dan through almost a lifetime. The chapters, sort of stand-alone short stories, swing between tragedy (loss of loved ones), the mundane (can't remember!), the extraordinary (a cat resurection!) and eventually (or to begin with) the death and grieving of a brother.
What's great about Mr Dixon's fiction is that the reader can't be unreceptive. Here, you are carried forward and backward in time, just like in a Nicholas Roeg's movie. You have to put together all the pieces of the puzzle and make your own story. And the story is beautiful.
In case i didn't make myself clear : BUY THIS BOOK! :-)Phone Rings Overview

Ideas of Heaven: A Ring of Stories ReviewJoan Silber's Ideas of Heaven is really a terrific collection. Each of these first-person narrative stories is just wonderful, not a weak link in the bunch. Many times, I feel that a short story is a bit of an emotional letdown, but not in the case of these stories; each is emotionally rewarding. Never will you wish that a story was a little longer, or had a bit more for you. The writing here is excellent; the stories, compelling. Silber makes it a little bit more interesting by linking each story to the ones surrounding it as placed in the book. Well done. I highly recommend this collection, even if you generally shy away from short fiction.Ideas of Heaven: A Ring of Stories Overview

Sometimes I Think If I Stand By the Phone It May Ring ReviewTerrifyingly detached, realistic end of the world story that speaks to the alienation of the Internet Generation. A real screen-turner!Sometimes I Think If I Stand By the Phone It May Ring OverviewWhat do you do when the apocalypse interrupts your day off? Watch it happen online, what else. Apocalypse is grandiose--sound and thunder and a Bruckheimerian shattering of worlds--but its impact is ultimately measured intimately. Human by human we cope with what befalls our loved ones and enemies and what we know will shortly befall us. Whether we watch the world crumble on 24-hour cable, or from pinned beneath its heel, we react as we do to any tribulation: with the fierce cyclic mechanism of remorse and blame that grows out of check like a cancerous cell.In "Sometimes I Think If I Stand By the Phone It May Ring", the only difference is that all bets are off, because this tribulation will not pass. In this gripping story by Robert N. Lee, your relationship with others is the only thing left in your hand... the only thing within your power to crush. A horror story by the author of Them Bones, coming soon from Print Is Dead.

The Ring of Brightest Angels Around Heaven : A Novella and Stories ReviewI have only recently discovered Rick Moody & in a short period have read almost all of his books - this is my favourite. The stories here are reasonably varied in content, & he has a lot of fun taking liberties with form & style & content (what a story should be). These are not necessarily just straight narratives, but play around with ideas of meaningful coincedence & circles of happenings. It's always good to see a writer unafraid of taking risks in order to get at some sort of truth - it's what great artistry is all about (I think anyway). I too, along with the other person who has written a review, like the stories 'Phrase Book' (the girl who took a massive hit of acid) and 'The Apocalypse of Bob Paisner' (a term paper in which a guy flunking out of school relates his life to the Bible). One thing about Moody, apart from everything else, is that his characters here are always wholly believeable. Even if the situations are sometimes extreme, the characters ring true - they are created with a great deal of empathy, & if the reaction to them isn't always empathetic, at least it's with understanding. This, to me, is the most important feature. The last story in the book is quite self-revelatory. It's a neat idea - Moody uses a selection of books from his bookshelf as a 'Bibliography' & footnotes occasional ones in order to explain certain parts of his life. I think it takes a person a lot of courage to expose themselves implicitly like this (but it sure beats a publishers blurb on the back cover). Rick Moody is a very good writer & you don't get too much better in contemporary writing than Ring of the Brightest Angels Around Heaven.The Ring of Brightest Angels Around Heaven : A Novella and Stories Overview
