The entire collection of Little Infamies is a must read and a must re-read. Superbly crafted. Ingeniously imagined. It was difficult to select which to share in hopes that it will provoke a desire to read them all. Karnezis blends his Greek heritage, which I share, with mythology and magical realism and all things otherworldly. The best recipe in my opinion. And he’s sly and witty. When do we take on the characteristics of what we believe we are? And when are we what we believe we are?
