Micro-fiction

David Thomas's books are micro-fiction. Short texts, rarely more than two pages. In A man at his window , it's life in all its dimensions. We go from a man who grows melons to a worker who has worked all her life to finally pay a luxury trip to Venice, with private boat and palace. A woman who after looking for 25 years the prince charming, in vain, decides to marry with herself. The story of a youtubeuse too, or even a dialogue by text message between two teenagers. A hundred stories that are self-sufficient. Beautiful, moving, funny or sad.

David Thomas is a genius, but he is still too little known. It's part of the injustices of publishing. Buy a book from David Thomas!
