Summary: Size doesn't matter!
Comment: In keeping with the spirit of this collection of short shorts, billed as a "picture book for grownups," I'll try to keep this brief. The stories in this collection, all classified under one of four catagories (Love Stories, Crime and Mystery, Not Quite S.F., and Off the Wall) are consistently intriguing, running the gamut from subtle to brash, outrageous to poignant, macabre to mundane. Flensed of unnecessary detail, Rogers ' telling vignettes force readers to fill in the blanks, allowing their own points of view to act upon the prose. Thus, the reading experience is transformed into a true collaborative effort, a joint venture where Rogers' imagination blends with that of his audience. Forsaking the luxury of a slow buildup, Rogers plunges his readers into various worlds, makes his points, then leaves as quickly as he came, leaving the reader to marvel at what he has just experienced. The stories in Flaming Arrows affirm that reading is indeed alchemy, proving once and for all that, at least in writing, size doesn't matter. It's a lesson that many of Rogers' peers need to learn.
