Hello Gentle Reader
It is that time of month. However this Short Story Review, will be different then one’s preceding it. The short story collections of Patricia Highsmith and that of Will Self have been replaced. With which new short story collection(s), will replace the two old short story collections? Well Gentle Reader you’ll have to read the Short Story Review No. VI. Could it possibly be Italo Calvino? Antonio Tabucchi? Gabriel Garcia Marquez? Bei Dao? You’ll have to wait and find out.
It certainly must be autumn though. The literary prizes are lining up. The (English) Man Booker Prize is coming up to its final conclusion of two thousand eleven in October. The German Book Prize, is going to be announced in October as well. Then the largest literary award nomination will be announced in October, and then it will be awarded in December.
Autumn though is my favourite time of year. The season is cooler, weather wise, it’s clearer; it’s not muddy and disgusting like spring, it is not covered in snow and freezing cold like winter, and not blistering hot like summer. However it should be noted that winter has its perks with snow at Christmas. The Christmas nights are nice and special too. Autumn is nice with the leaves always falling. It is especially nice to see the leaves blowing in the cool autumn wind. The crunching sound of the leaves underneath ones foot. The early dusks. It’s all quite beautiful.
