Christopher Klim liked Kay 's review of True Surrealism: "Short stories can be frustrating because when they are compelling like many in this collection are, I want to learn more about the characters. On the other hand, I am grateful when a short story's topic leaves one feeling uncomfortable--not because i" Read more of this review »

Christopher Klim liked John D.'s review of True Surrealism: "This is an excellent, entertaining, and educational book. I’m an award winning novelist in a (very) different genre and I was fascinated by the diverse, rich vignettes in this book. There are many arrows of truth and good insights into the textured ri" Read more of this review »

Stumbled into this gem at a relative's house for "story time." Kids loved it. Great story about acceptance of others.

Christopher Klim liked a quote “The smell of grease in the Horseshoe Diner was strong, like the residuals of every meal that had ever been cooked over its open griddle. I lingered in a corner booth near the window, speaking to my wife Ava on the cell phone. With as much free time as a corpse, I pondered past mistakes, but I kept the call short before she asked too many questions and revived the dying thoughts in my mind. A man was a sharp and useful tool, I thought, as long as he never paused to consider it.” Christopher Klim

Christopher Klim liked a quote “I had built a life where nothing failed expectations—bills were paid, heaters kept heating, roofs never leaked. We could be framed and shot by the Good Housekeeping paparazzi, and they would never catch a brick out of place, a shrub overgrown, or our boys in shoes or pants a half size too small. Our life was perfect, until I ruined everything.” Christopher Klim
