内容简介:
Uncommon Sleeping Pills is a collection of original short stories with a range of settings, situations and significant moments in history from the early Crusades to modern times. A stimulating flow of creative prose is enhanced by several poetic wanderings into deep space. Come fly with frontline fighter pilots of WWII, follow the strategy of a lethal game of chess, witness the troubling dilemmas of uncompromising youth, follow the conflicting loyalties of a domesticated wolf cub, laugh along with the misadventures of a young service family, view a puzzling world through the eyes of a cross-eyed cat, and much, much more. These are not the sedative sleeping pills you might prescribe for a peaceful voyage into la-la land, but they'll make staying awake much more interesting.
