The Wind Smoked My Pipe

By Martha Rodden

A diverse collection of five short and not-so-short stories tied together only by elements of magic realism. The stories, which take place between the early 19th century and the present, include a piece on an unexpected relationship between two strangers brought together by a natural disaster, a story about characters from books transcending their pages, a deeply personal fictional memoir across four generations of hunters, an exploration of growing up with a neurodivergent identity, and musings on the richness of solitude. All but one story is set on the author's farm in the hills of western Maryland, a serene and magical tableau.This book is a collection of five short and not-so-short stories, each with different characters. All but one are set on the author's farm across 300 years. Elements of magical realism are all that hold the stories together in a single volume.
