Summary
John Sheirer’s Stumbling Through Adulthood: Linked Stories showed his immense skill for traditional-length short stories. For Now: One Hundred 100-Word Stories shows equal facility with the microfiction form. These stories range from gentle humor so light it might float out of the audiobook in a soft breeze to dense, powerful tales that threaten to bore directly into the earth’s molten core.
Sheirer (pronounced Shy-er) narrates his own stories for this audiobook. BONUS MATERIAL: Voice artist Amanda Elgie reads Sheirer's story "Mass" from his award-winning book of longer stories, Stumbling Through Adulthood.
Critic reviews
“Here, in these finely wrought tales, is a universal current of humanity that connects us all.” – Robert Scotellaro, author of Ways to Read the World.
“With so many big stories in such compact spaces, John Sheirer will titillate and delight you.” – Joshua Michael Stewart, author of Love Something and Break Every String
“Unsettling in their precise focus, Sheirer’s brief and crystalline works sharpen the reader’s awareness of the irrevocable. – Gina Barreca, author of They Used to Call Me Snow White, but I Drifted.
