Romancer Erector

By Diane Williams

Book Overview

Famous for her works of "flash fiction" which capture life, love, and contradiction in a single page, Diane Williams continues to forge her own innovative tradition in this new collection. Including over three dozen short stories along with three novellas, Romancer Erector is her boldest collection to date. Here she once again astonishes us with her distinctive voice, detached yet fiercely intimate. As one critic writes: "the effect is original, as if a strange little memory has insinuated itself into the reader's own memory, to remain there...incapable of assimilation." Like intricately wrapped gifts, these tales deliver the hidden, the haunted, the charms, the bell, the mansions inside of the human heart.

Customer Reviews

a brilliantly innovative writer!

I can't think of another writer who can capture so much of a woman's inner life in so few words. There's really no one else you can compare her to; the work is entirely original. You have to read it for yourself!--Dawn Raffel
