		<description><![CDATA[God’s all-time bestseller, The Book, might be described (I wish to offend no one) as metafiction; it was written, divinely, by its main character, Who appears in various forms, at crucial cliff-hanger moments, as Himself. Unfortunately, so the story goes, God’s sixth-day creation, us &#8212; or more accurately our ancestors &#8212; made a muddle of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dactylreview.com&amp;blog=12888308&amp;post=1221&amp;subd=dactylreview&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pedro Ponce offers eighteen very short stories in this slender volume (Cow Heavy Books, 55 pages). Within the brief space Ponce delegates for himself not much can happen, but these vignettes do manage to develop vigorous fabula-like themes. In each short piece, a subject is opened, then skillfully closed. In &#8220;Changeling,&#8221; a man late for [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dactylreview.com&amp;blog=12888308&amp;post=1200&amp;subd=dactylreview&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

In The Sojourn (Bellevue Literary Press, 191 pages), Andrew Krivak successfully defends the parish of the novel. Although the harsh imperatives of history require much sifting of facts, places and victims—synthesis and hindsight are essential, as part of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dactylreview.com&amp;blog=12888308&amp;post=1176&amp;subd=dactylreview&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
