World Famous Love Acts: Stories (INSCRIBED COPY)
by: Leung, Brian

Softcover. Louisville KY, Sarabande Books, 1st, 2004, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 202 pages. If it's possible to be dubbed a "master storyteller" this early in one's career, then Leung's enchanting debut short story collection most assuredly has earned him the title. As diverse as they are similar, Leung's characters and their conditions run the gamut from elderly widower to precocious youngsters, porn star to AIDS victim, serial killer to estranged sisters, and all are lucidly portrayed in prose that is achingly lyrical and elegantly refined. Leung's stories are startling in their depth and intricacy. INSCRIBED BY LEUNG on the half-title page. Clean copy.
