Fiorella in a Sundress and Other Stories
By Craig Cunningham, author of One Night in a Thousand Years, Audi Award Finalist for Young Adult Book of the Year
In his sixth book, Craig Cunningham delivers a fiercely original collection of five stories that explore the lines between creativity, sanity, and faith. A priest brought to life on the page confronts his maker. Men in a small town play out a death ritual. A failed writer's letter to an agent spirals into violence and cultural reckoning. An eccentric lottery inventor tries to conquer the world. And a sweeping, metaphysical poem closes the collection as a meditation on the eternal nature of art itself.
Haunting, darkly funny, and uncompromising, Fiorella in a Sundress draws readers into worlds where reality and imagination become difficult to separate, and where the act of storytelling itself is a cry for salvation.
