The Narrative Voice

Here are ten honest stories honestly told, each by a different narrative voice. Five are about real people and events, with names and locations changed, and five are pure fiction. Which are real and which are fiction? You may guess, but I’ve sworn the tellers I won’t tell.
Among the tales, Cleopatrus Excaptivus reveals an irascible old man and his terrifying pet, and how havoc can occasionally secure happiness.
The Tale of the Japanese Embassy’s Most Esteemed Chef involves what may or may not be adultery outrageously adulterated with superb cuisine.
In Turandot’s Ukulele, a little boy and his beloved aunt attend the Metropolitan Opera, with poignant results.
A Slight Contretemps features a very proper British couple, a beautiful Italian maid, and murder.
The other six stories (including The Witch of Tabaquite, a novella about voodoo) contain everything from whimsy to madness. Discover in the variety of The Narrative Voice an enjoyable and enlightening reading experience.
