Melchior Á La Carte

"Melchior Á La Carte is a delight. These engaging stories are filled with wonderful, original characters and unexpected turns of events. In each one of them one learns something new about the world and about oneself. Melchior's characters enter your mind and stay there. Uniquely, Melchior tells not just the story itself, but in an addendum, what inspired each of them, the precipitating event that is often as interesting as the story itself. Dip into these surprising tales as into a box of great Belgian chocolates. You'll find them addictive." - Andrew Kaplan, author of Scorpion, Dragonfire "Ib Melchior's Melchior Á La Carte collection of short stories is more than a potpourri of delicacies - it is a feast of literary delights, reminiscent of the tales told by those master story tellers, Conrad and Maugham. In short, for those readers who delight in looking for wide ranging story turns and subjects, for meaningful entertainment, Melchior's book is a must have." - S.L. Stebel, author of Spring Thaw, The Boss's Wife "Ib Melchior is an extraordinary story teller. His writing is always provocative and wise, as he lays out the stuff of which dreams are made." - Mann Rubin, screenwriter of The Best of Everything, Brainstorm
