“I love dreams. I know enough about them to know that dream logic is not story logic, and that you can rarely bring a dream back as a tale: it will have transformed from gold into leaves, from silk to cobwebs, on waking.”
~Neil Gaiman
Introduction to “Feeders and Eaters”
As hard as it is to believe, Sunday morning dawns with this, our 6th group discussion of the Fragile Things short story collection. Only two more Sundays to go. I can already tell I am going to miss spending my Sundays with you fine folk, talking about the highs and lows of our immersion into Neil Gaiman’s short fiction.
This week’s stories were fairly short indeed, as are next weeks. A word of advice for those who are reserving each story for the intended week: you might want to read ahead during week 7 as the four stories that make up our final week include a much longer novella.
This week’s reading contained two stories that I think work best when read aloud and I am once again thankful that I decided to revisit the audio collection for this group reading experience.
Spoilers are on the way, let’s go!
