Nothing Is Ever One Thing is a Master Class in flash fiction. These elegant stories shine a slanted light on the high wire act of human existence with a unique blend of pathos and grit. Robert Scotellaro’s microfictions are breathtaking little epiphanies. Robert Scotellaro has published widely in national and international books, journals and anthologies, including W.W. Norton’s Flash Fiction International , NANO Fiction , Gargoyle , New Flash Fiction Review , Matter Press , and many others. Two of his stories were included in Best Small Fictions (2016 and 2017). He is the author of seven literary chapbooks, several books for children, and three full-length story Measuring the Distance , What We Know So Far (winner of The 2015 Blue Light Book Award), and Bad Motel .
Nothing Is Ever One Thing Reviews
-
Another brilliant, experimental flash collection from the micro master. Includes a good mix of styles and subject matter, all condensed into small bouquets of vibrant flash offerings. Scotellaro walks the line between humor and deep pathos with skill and empathy for his characters, often concentrating with vision and shrewdness on domesticity. One of my favorite first lines in fiction from "Smoke Signals":
"My father would bring home fish instead of flowers, after harsh words stained everything."
I can (and have) read many of these over and over and still get much out of his little stories, and I love the playful descending P.S. format he uses in many of them.
