Clinging on to the Olympic theme by the skin of my teeth, I
present Twenty Tiny Tales-a unique booked featuring perfect bite-sized literary
chunks to dip in and out of while you attempt to get your life back on track
following two and half weeks of professional and personal neglect due to the
relentless televised patriotic athleticism.
Don’t be put off by the first ‘tale’, it’s by far the least
gripping and once you get past that four page hurdle, each subsequent story is
more surprising and revelatory than the last.
There is a recurring theme of last-minute twists at the end
of each (very) short story and once you get into the pattern, you’ll find
yourself looking for clues from the very first page as to who or what the
ambiguously enigmatic narrator of each tale really is.
Each story flips between devilishly dark, unaffectedly
poignant and charmingly romantic-a particular highlight being, The Wedding,
which is a mini Tarantino script in five pages.
This frivolous collection of fables offers an insight into
the author’s obscure train of thought, as you get the feeling each tale was
borne out of the same kind of ridiculous fleeting ‘what if’ mind-tracks we all
get throughout the day, Willie Wit just took them one step further and had the
creativity to devise the right format to record and share them.
An original creation and refreshing reading experience.
