Hard Confessions

Written by  Alexandre Amprimoz
Everything is possible in these cosmopolitan short fictions. July snowstorms last exactly five minutes one year, ten the next. Government plot or mass hallucination? Two lovers share strangely similar tales of abandonment by their parents. Paganini's playing is no match for that of the village idiot in Pecora-Pendente. Fantasy, coincidence, and the absurd are all part of this rich brew from an accomplished author.
