Pleasant Tales II
Two young sisters enjoy the gustatory delights of chocolate pudding. A healthy young man takes a walk in the park and offers sage employment advice to strangers. A sinner estranged from God considers turning over a new leaf. In this set of exceptionally brief and mild stories, very little conflict occurs, and the characters are not developed in any great depth — if at all. If you’re tired of exciting story arcs and dramatic events, Pleasant Tales II expertly withholds the conventional rewards of fiction. A collection especially appropriate for juvenile readers and those utterly bored with the ancient and mercenary strife of the human heart.
