The Story of How All Animals Are Equal, & Other Tales

Fiction. LGBT Studies. Spontaneity, Accuracy, and Mystery are the three things Elizabeth Bishop says make a great poem. I am applying her three markers to Runkle's stories today, perfect in every way! THE STORY OF HOW ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL is an instant American classic!--CA Conrad

Runkle excels at openings, delicately placing the reader into even the most absurd scenarios with only a few words... highly imaginative and uncanny... these stories, however, are told with fresh, stunning language. Runkle creates an array of worlds that will at different times surprise, confuse and entertain.--Kirkus Reviews
