Temporary Tales
TEMPORARY TALES
L.. A. Gordon writes seven tales about the lives of people caught up in the briefness of life, entangled in all the dimensions and agonies limited time offers. Temporary Tales are studies in temporary insanity (sex change), employment (pyromania), temporary filling, (demonic possession), the temporary permanent hairdo (birth of an archangel), the temporary or fleeting smile (a bullet hole in the chest), the temporary stay (Siren seduction), and a temporary impression (perfect love). The writing is human, witty, and wonderfully edgy. The short story is the most demanding of all writing genera. Here, L.A. Gordon is at his best.
Story lines reach into the ancient past and venture into the future. The short story collection is tastefully varied, comfortably without bias, politics, and harsh language. The collection has you running into people who do not have time on their side. They may be transformed by an earth quake, go to the wrong dentist, or find themselves already dead for all intents and purposes. The word 'temporary' itself is examined, as a noble word that is misunderstood and often abused. Temporary Tales is a good way to become familiar with the author, L.A. Gordon. This way you can walk a few, measured paragraphs with him without worrying about finding your way back.
