Inhaltsangabe

MICHAEL FORTE’S FORTY SHORTIES is a ragbag of short invented stories, some embellished true stories, some family anecdotes and a scattering of poems. They range in style and content from fond reminiscences of life in the Italian family village from which Michael’s family originated, to dissections of the foibles of age, masculinity and relationships and from lyrical musings on gardening and goat tending to the odd angry rant. Some will make you squirm, some will make you sad but most will make you smile or laugh out loud. They’re mainly shorter than the average short story and they don’t have intricate plots. In fact this collection meets the classic definition of an easy read. Easy read is often used as a term of disparagement. It shouldn’t be. An easy read can be the short sharp impact of a great poem, an essay, a short story, or even an article that will set you thinking. What all the pieces in this book have in common is that they’re short, ‘easy to read’ and thoroughly entertaining.
