The husband, still on the raft, hears his name called out, shots fired, and then a scream. The wife has to go back to the cabin to let the dog out.

These include form/structure, topical/subject matter, themes and characterization. The text, “Briar Rose” written by Jane Yolen creates an engaging text through many techniques.

(I'm a sucker for courtroom dramas, and this one is very well done.) I'm also very fond of “ Victory Unintentional" and “ Satisfaction Guaranteed"-the former is one of Asimov’s best attempts at humor, and the latter has a delightful twist to it. ![]() (The paperback edition goes in and out of print and was available fairly recently, even if it isn’t currently in print.)

And I say this in the best of ways this is not a book you want to lose yourself in because then you’d miss out on fully appreciating the editorial asides that this story is so rich with. December, I’d say, was the perfect month to read this tale, when I was too frantic with readying myself for the holidays to have the luxury of fully submerging myself in a book. With short chapters packed full of tiny little gems that catch you unaware and let you enjoy not just Thoral and Brad’s adventure but also the experience of reading the story, it’s fun. (Jim) Hardison’s Fish Wielder is all of these. ![]() |
