Not Necessarily Nice Stories: stories

by Daniel Curzon

Overview

A THIRD collection of short stories (following The Revolt of the Perverts, 1978, and Human Warmth and Other Stories, 1981) Most of these stories were written before it was possible to publish some things during the Zeitgeist of the past two decades and maybe even still today. This is a literature-may-help-but-maybe-not cry at the end of the millennium. Politically impolite. Dedicated to teachers, children, animals, and ex-Catholics.--Published first in such magazines as The Kenyon Review. Awarded a Certificate of Merit in Writer´s Digest 2000 S-P Book Awards

What People are Saying About This

Daniel Curzon

This is my third collection of short stories (followingThe Revolt of the Perverts, 1978, and Human Warmth and Other Stories, 1981) Most of these stories were written before it was possible to publish some things during the Zeitgeist of the past two decades and maybe even still today. This is my literature-may-help-but-maybe-not cry at the end of the millennium. It's a good book. Interesting. Provocative. For all sorts of reasons.
