When I started writing fiction in 1998, one of the books I discovered was Merrill Joan Gerber's "Chattering Man." The novella and short stories in this collection are as powerful as they are expertly-crafted. Never saccharine, always honest, these stories will get under your skin. Her characters range from teenagers to the elderly, people just experiencing the intricacies of life, and those who have grown jaded from years of battling the random inequities of an illogical world. Gerber's character of Anna Goldman is worth the price of this book alone. Without question, Gerber's fiction played an important role in my development as a writer. This is a must read.
