Hors d’oeuvres II

Don’t let the title fool you; Hors d’oeuvres II is not about food for the belly, but more about food for the mind. It is a diverse collection of short stories strictly designed to amuse and entertain. This new batch of Hors d’oeuvres is no less appetizing than the first. Perhaps, there is a bit more seasoning, and a few more chewy centers, but the premise still remains the same: short, easy to digest literary bits of life served up “a la carte”, without all the fattening fillers, wandering subplots, and flowery rhetoric. I guarantee there are no stale crackers, or pâté that may seem suspiciously like store-bought cat food. (Remember your neighbor’s last New Year’s party?) So dig in, enjoy the fare; good when you’re in the mood for a bit of easy reading: satisfying, non-fattening, and you don’t have to worry about the toothpicks.
