Fiction. Many have laid claim to the legacy of Kafka, but perhaps none can be so justified as Mark E. Cull's ONE WAY DONKEY RIDE. These stories dazzle the reader-some with wit and a luminous resonance illuminating much of what is odd and captivating about human behavior. A kindergarten child takes over the class; the dead speak. We hear echoes of human follies. But in other stories we feel the deft twist of the narrator's knife as we are led too far down the rabbit hole to perceive any shining or to be quite sure in which universe we stand.
