Fables from the Mudiby Erik Quisling At long last come the tales of perhaps the three greatest invertebrates
who ever lived... Fables from the Mud compiles
the triumphant accounts of three modern-day invertebrate heroes
and their tireless quests for self-revelation: "The Angry Clam" reveals
the trials and tribulations of a clam struggling with the absurd
reality of his own impotence. "Adventures of Glen in My Stone Garden" is
the story of a cynical ant whose view of the world is turned on
its head by the discovery of a magical stone garden. "Grant's Tomb" is
the tale of a great warrior worm who, despite having achieved everything
he'd striven for in life, is still left feeling empty and alone
"A classic with the likes of Saint-Exupery's
The Little Prince."
- The Boston Globe (October, 2007)
"Very occasionally a book comes along that breaks
out from the norm, that can be taken on many different levels,
and more importantly, enjoyed by a wide audience. Erik Quisling
has produced such a work with Fables From
The Mud. It may be a
quick read, but it is a very contemplative work, and one that once
you finish it, you will want to reflect on the stories. Minimalist
it certainly is, but it is well worth the price of admission. There
is something for everyone in this book."
- The Cleveland Plains Dealer (September,
2007)
"A mix of hard truths, humor, and compassion...as
disturbing as it is illuminating."
- Gahan Wilson of The
New Yorker Magazine
"There is plenty of material packed into these
little gems to warrant re-reading. The comedy and insight are wily,
creative, and on a deeper level, profound. They are prime
specimens of an independent author working with a highly unconventional
literary form, which possesses great wryness and a great sense
of life."
- 5 Star Book Review (October, 2007)
"A Masterpiece... a classic that will withstand
the test of time."
- Yasuhiko Kimura, Author of The
Book of Balance
