Lovely Short Fiction!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Absolutely organic and surreal; this is my favorite of the author's short fiction! Not simply for those of "certain tastes;" there is something here for everyone! Wonderous, magical, challenging: a great read!

Good fiction uses the reader, invoking a wide range of emotions. "The One Marvelous Thing" is an anthology of short stories from Rikki Ducornet. Not typecasting herself into any one style, she ranges from humor to joy to love to suicidal depression. Accompanied by charming black and white art from T. Motley, "The One Marvelous Thing" is a short fiction collection that can't help but be enjoyed.
