TALES OF FALLING AND FLYING - BEN LOORY KARTONI...

Mesmerizing and magical. . . . A stunning book. NPR.org Short stories so imaginative and yet so
perplexingly familiar they could have formed in a dream. . . . Taut  meticulously balanced and
written in Loory s direct  witty prose  his own stories take a page from Aesop: high-flying
tales nonetheless boiled down to the essentials. The Los Angeles Times Ben Loory s stories are
little gifts  strange and moving and wonderfully human. I devoured this book in one sitting.
