Summary
Oscar Wilde once stated: "I think that God in creating Man somewhat overestimated his ability." Thankfully, the authors featured in Wilde Stories 2014 possess the ability to create men on the page that love and risk and suffer and mourn, deeds that deserve telling despite the frailties of fictional flesh. Once more editor Steve Berman has collected a variety of stories that range from the fantastical to the eerie to surreal¿yet all possess the spark of imagination that is what brings storytelling the closest to a divine act of wonder an individual can perform.
