Columbus and his men, they say, Conveyed the virus hither Whereby my features rot away And vital powers wither Yet had they not traversed the seas And come infected back, Why, think of all the luxuries That modern life would lack.
Richard Wilbur
Image
Kelly Link's prose is conveyed in details so startling and fine that you work up a sweat just waiting for the next sentence to land. This is why we read, crave, need, can't live without short stories.
