From Library Journal
Chappell, author of Brighten the Corner Where You Are ( LJ 8/89), has written 13 marvelous stories about truth and the many shapes it takes in human experience. Even Carl Linnaeus, Jacques Offenbach, Hart Crane, and H.P. Lovecraft are not exempt from its twists and turns, and ordinary folks in these tales encounter some revealing oddities: a 500-yard-wide dream blocking a highway, a book that has the power to alter great literature, the chance to experience a reality stranger than science fiction, and a visit from a deceased suitor looking for some answer. Each story stretches the boundaries of the imagination with sparkling prose, delightful humor, and a few truths of its own. Chappell is a talented writer who deserves a wider audience. Recommended. --Jacqueline Adams, Carroll Cty. P.L., Westminster, Md.
