READERS OF JIM GOLD'S FICTION have always been charmed by the odd worlds he creates that look an awful lot like the one we're living in. . .except for something slightly out of place.
At times, this skewed reality can be found in the forces that govern these invented worlds, where up is often down and right is often left. At other times, our heroes and heroines are driven by urges and beliefs we've rarely if ever encountered in our lives. Animals converse. Complete strangers engage in intimate, often life-changing encounters. The author's passion for the zany and offbeat marks his stories with a rainbow of the unexpected.
In this collection, Gold turns his attention to an aspect of experience that is rarely examined. What if it were possible for all of us to somehow preserve the impressions and understandings of early childhood, where we saw the world around us free of the assumptions and preconceptions we gradually attach to everything we observe? What would that be like?
It's a journey in perception you get a chance to take in these witty, engrossing, and deeply humane tales-and maybe leave more eager to recapture the freedom of your own infant vision.
