A MASTER OF

THE SHORT STORY

​

Morrie Ruvinsky's "The Heart and Other Strangers" is a masterfully executed collection of short fiction. Injecting layer upon layer of texture and meaning into every tale, Ruvinsky writes that rarest of animals, literature. Human beings dwell in these pages, complete with their desires, foibles, and complexities. Often funny, just as often poignant AND funny, reading "The Heart and Other Strangers" is a trip down Irony Lane that never strains credulity -- unless that happens to be the point. Ruvinsky is a knowing and wise guide through the ventricles and auricles of the human condition. Enjoy the ride.
