Words are what we've got.

What else lives as long as words do?

Sarki takes the English alphabet as a bolt of fine cloth and stitches together words, thought and meaning. I imagine that just as Michelangelo could look at a block of marble and see the statue as plain as it was before him, Sarki also could look at the keyboard of characters and imagine these three beautifuly written stories.

"We are certainly shaped by our initial impressions, are we not?" Sarki's narrator asks in the book's first story. I believe we often are, and in the case of Sarki's prose, I am one of his readers who is sufficiently impressed and hopes to be reading more of his fiction in the future.
