Miracles and Conundrums of the Secondary Planets
Miracles and Conundrums of the Secondary Planets | Jacob M. Appel
4 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
Fiction. "Appel presents a cast of characters worthy of his quirky title. Among them Red Ziggy, a restaurateur from a distant planet who opens Birmingham, Alabama's only Latvian eatery, and Happy Gallows, a widower with granddaughter who advertises in the newspaper for 'housekeeping and discourse.' The topics are weighty abortion, climate change, cancer but the touch light enough to make you wonder whether you're reading miracles and conundrums of this world or some other. An intriguing read." George Harrar, author of Reunion at Red Paint Bay"

As usual great collection of short stories. While this one was not one of his best, it was still a good read. The good stories made up for the so so ones. I give it 3 stars.

I received this book for free from the author in exchange for an honest review.

This is the fourth short story collection I have read from this author and once again I loved it. Appel‘s stories are always so unique and clever and have a lot of heart. Even if you don‘t typically like short stories, I‘m sure you will love his.

I really liked this book of short stories from Jacob Appel. I've read a few of his books and I think this one was my favorite. I truly enjoyed all of the stories and I feel like I will remember them for a long time. They will definitely stay with me.
