"The Drowned Life" by Jeffrey Ford is a strange and wonderfully written collection of short stories - they are odd and dream-like...not in the lush and fantasy sense, but rather in the depiction of disjointed surreal events, out of sequence, fascinating and bizarre. These are well written; a pleasure to savor. Ford makes the reader contribute from his/her fund of knowledge/imagination in order to invest and enjoy the process more fully. This is the first work of his that I have read and I can hardly wait to read his novels.
