Temporary Tales by L. A. Gordon

TEMPORARY TALES L.. A. Gordon writes seven tales about the lives of people caught up in the briefness of life, entangled in all the dimensions and agonies limited time offers. Temporary Tales are studies in temporary insanity (sex change), employment (pyromania), temporary filling, (demonic possession), the temporary permanent hairdo (birth of an archangel), the temporary or fleeting smile (a bullet hole in the chest), the temporary stay (Siren seduction), and a temporary impression (perfect love). The writing is human, witty, and wonderfully edgy. The short story is the most demanding of all writing genera. Here, L.A. Gordon is at his best.
