New collection from "the best short story writer in any genre" (New Scientist)

April 16, 2011 - PRLog -- April 2011:   

Phoenix Man
by Garry Kilworth

The man who learned to walk on water and one who discovered how to beat fire, a visionary who sees a world filled with people quite unlike his own, a man who can soak up anything that's thrown at him.

Thirteen eclectic stories of discovery and wonder – five of them original to this collection – from a writer described by New Scientist as "the best short story writer in any genre".


"The best short story I have read for many years."
-- JG Ballard, on Kilworth's "Sumi Dreams of a Paper Frog" (Songbirds of Pain)

"As a whole the book is a captivating collection!"
-- Murio Guslandi, in Emerald City Magazine, on Kilworth's Moby Jack and Other Tall Tales

"Garry Kilworth's stories refuse easy categorization; they’re gorgeously written, heartbreakingly poignant, multiculturally savvy, sharp and smart, and always strange and surprising."
-- Claude Lalumiere, on Kilworth's Moby Jack and Other Tall Tales
