Canapés

By Francis Porretto

An assortment of brief tales from the oeuvre of Long Island novelist Francis W. Porretto, of whom it has been said: "He is a thinking man's type of author." - Tom Wolff, reviewing "Chosen One""A superior wordsmith by far than many better known authors, he has a unique ability to write believable characters with extraordinary depth. But the storytelling My goodness. He holds a near-unique ability to mix religious themes, challenging moral situations, relationship, and some good ol' fashion butt-whoopin' all in one." - M. Deshazer, reviewing "Innocents" "His insight into interpersonal relationships; his understanding of what constitutes moral behavior; his all-too-rare grasp of true (not the liberal mockery of) civility, of politeness and consideration for others around you; his knowledge of the power of caring, compassion, and love in how people _should_ deal with each other, shine through every part of this book." - Reg T., reviewing "Polymath"" A]s always, his characters are carefully drawn and possessed, not so much of paint-on qualities from the Official Palette, but of human values and frailties, the sort one sees far more on your own block than on random Netflix offering]." - Charles Hill, reviewing "Love in the Time of Cinema.
