| Five Forbidden Things :: Small Beer Press :: Chapbook by Dora Knez |
|
The second Small Beer Press chapbook is by Canadian writer Dora Knez.
Previously Dora has been published in Tesseracts and Lady Churchill's
Rosebud Wristlet. She attended the Clarion Writers' Workshop in
1995. The five cross-genre stories and three poems here represent
a writer with a deft touch and a sure eye. The (almost) title story,
"The One Forbidden Thing," and "Vaster Than Empires" received
honorable mentions in The Year's Best Fantasy & Horror.
"A fine burgeoning talent."
"Dora Knez shows us those small magics by which people survive.
Her prose is nimble, subtle; her heroines, unforgettable. Dora!
Dora! Dora!"
"Dora Knez brews a physic for the wondrous everyday pains and
sorrows. Her writing is, purely and simply, magic: gentle as the
touch of a child's hands on its parent's face; quiet as a lullaby
whispered into the ear; and sometimes, fearsome, as the squalling
changeling who has replaced the babe you love." | ||||||||||
