Quests: Flash Fiction Stories
by William Colson
In Quests, William Colson reveals a unique talent in flash fiction to describe the insidious moments when lives change, almost always without notice, and often without compassion.
The stories traverse diverse times and places: the post-war America and Europe, the Soviet Era, the backwoods of mountains, the odd diner, distant forests, the lives of ordinary people facing extraordinary challenges. Every single story is a brave emotional illustration of acts of mourning, love, trust and doing what has to be done.
The style is concise, observant and humane. Colson's characters-children, soldiers, fathers, wanderers and survivors-are almost always at the threshold of a life changing act, meeting or moment of realization.
These aren't massive, heroic quests. They are internal and deeply personal. Every single story is a world of its own. Yet taken as a whole, the stories are a convergence of thoughts on the essence of fortitude and the nature of suffering.
The book is a delight for:
Quests is a book intended for those who prefer substance to size, and who are convinced that even the minutest stories can contain enormous truth.
