5.0 out of 5 stars Emerging Writers, Dec 14 2003
By A Customer
Mota 2003: Courage is an exciting anthology that showcases emerging writers of fine literary fiction. I especially enjoyed Linda S. Clare's edgy tale, Gargoyles, where madness meets architecture in a most surprising way. Look for many of the writers included in this superior anthology to become household names. A collector's item to be sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unforgettable sojourns through the human mind, Dec 14 2003
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Ably edited by Karen Joy Fowler, Mota 3: Courage is the 2003 annual anthology of superbly crafted and highly recommended short stories centered about the cutting-edge challenges of the modern day. "A Jealous God" by Nancy Jane Moore, "To Rescue My Best Friend" by Kent Patterson, " Horses Can See in the Dark" by Marietta Ball and other superbly written and thought-provoking tales bring the reader on brief yet unforgettable sojourns through the human mind and experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crisp and interesting stories, something for everyone, Sep 25 2003
By A Customer
The great thing about an anthology like this one, produced by a small publisher, is that you're seeing a more diverse cross-section of writers than you usually do in similar anthologies by any of the major publishers. I was somewhat surprised to learn that the stories were produced by relatively young or unpublished writers.

While all of the stories are good, three stood out for me: "Loneliness of the Middle Distance Runner," by James Gilmer; "My Hermit," by Leslie What; and "The Bootlegger," by Chris Orcutt. All three are written with excellent dialogue and really compelling description, and Orcutt's story uses second person, which I found intriguing.

This is the kind of anthology you should buy if you want to read some great writers before they make it big. I'm convinced that a few of them--especially the three I mentioned--will write some great stuff. Who knows, maybe this book will become a collector's item.
