(Reviewed by Christopher J. Lynch)
I’ll admit that I have never been into short stories – or collections of them, but Mathieu Cailler’s Forest For The Trees, changed my mind.
The writing here is fresh and poetic, the stories as varied as they come. Like many great writers, Callier knows how to tap deep into human emotions and foibles. Most importantly, many of the stories have surprise endings that I did not see coming.
A great read, and one that I certainly recommend.
