review 1: I came to this book hoping for a practical guide to the rules of writing flash fiction - though having finished the book I find that may have been the wrong goal - given that flash fiction appears much more experimental and literary than the kind of writing I'm used to. The book is a collection of essays - in a lot of cases more academic than practical. Some of them went over my head a bit. I have certainly learned a lot from this book - but the biggest lesson I've learned is that flash fiction may not be for me. Still, the book has expanded my understanding and so in that regard it has done its job. If you want to learn more about writing flash fiction this book will be helpful - and the prompts at the end of each essay will give you valuable experi... moreence.
review 2: This book is making my month. Flash fiction is my métier, and more than any other discussion of flash, this book makes me proud of that. And gives me so much help with it. I am trying not to hurry, and not every contribution (it's a collection of articles) is meaningful to me, but it's going to be re-read as soon as I get to the end of it. And now i see there is another book by Rose Metal Press on prose poetry, and I must get it! less
