The World's Thinnest Fat Man

What William Jablonsky does in each story is posit one given oddity to twist the characters and plot. And what he accomplishes by each story's end is to return that oddity to earth and everyday life in such a disarming manner that you will not only forget you ever left, but you will grasp the ground in new affirmation and hope. This is an absolutely charming collection of stories that affirms what it means to be human.
