Summary: Sunday Best
Comment: I had the good fortune to meet the author of Sunday Special in Rome, where he and I both live, and was compelled by this meeting to pick up a copy of the book at the nearest english language bookstore. Michael Reynolds has a penchant for the absurd, a sharp and lively sense of humor, and a passion for poetry. He shows us all of these things in this book. Sunday Special is a collection of stories ripe with humor and humanity. The author takes us to the most unexpectd places and situations, yet he is so sure of his narratives, he writes with such "authority", that you are willing to follow him, convinced that however odd things might become, he will lead you out the other end of the story with something of great value between you hands. It would be difficult to explain the stories without giving them away. I'll just say that my favorite story in the book was "The Strap-On Cure" and let the title give you some hint as to what it might be about.
Bonus: Sunday Special also includes drawings by a painter by the name of Troy Henriksen, drawings that are as odd and imaginative as the stories themselves.
It's been a while since I have read anything that seemed new, different, and at the same time of such quality. A good read for anyone who likes contemporary literary fiction.
