This book by Mr. Nodar is full of surprises — topic surprises and ending surprises. It is a nice book with a variety of stories (even some poems) that are extremely entertaining. There is much humor but also some seriousness. The book includes a variety of short stories. I guess I am saying that this book cannot be pinned down to one specific thing or theme other than to say that it is enjoyable.

Electric gathering place for scribes of all tribes. Jose’s generosity of spirit in assembling a repository of talent proves one of the best palliatives against the pangs of solitude that beset the unpublished writer. Read Jose’s STORIES TO SHARE WITH MY PARTNER and you’ll discover a very social writer indeed.

This book has it all! From heart-warming stories about early ventures in publishing, to deep poems on an immigrant’s experience. There’s sprinkles of humour, snippets of sci-fi… Really, anything you could want in a book. I read it in one sitting and will be re-reading it in the future.

Aussie author J. F. Nodar’s latest literary offering is a veritable treasure trove of astonishments, brimming with twists that captivate both in subject and denouement.
This delightful collection weaves together an eclectic mix of stories and poems, each piece resonating with its unique blend of wit and gravity. I particularly like the poem “When I Think of You I Get Hungry”
Packed with humor yet threaded with thoughtful gravitas, the collection defies easy categorization, standing as a testament to its sheer enjoyment ability.
This book is a mosaic of narrative brilliance, easy to read, impossible to pin down but undeniably a joy to explore.
