Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "Gallimaufry" is a word derived from Middle French referring to a ragout or hash. The dictionary defines its current meaning as medley, mixture, hodgepodge, or mishmash. To a French cook medley or mixture might be acceptable, but the other terms most assuredly do not refer to a properly put together ragout. I believe that this current collection of stories presents more than a loose hodgepodge of different story types. In fact, they properly form a medley, an intellectual ragout, if you will, with identifiably different tastes and textures producing in the whole a pleasing and nourishing combination. At any rate I hope in this Gallimaufry collection, with a proper combination of ingredients, to satisfy a medley of tastes for my readers. A Gallimaufry Collection of Stories is my third book of short stories. Unlike the first two that concentrated on stories set in the Kentucky Mountains and in the Bluegrass Region where I was brought up, this present volume flits about here and there to other places about the country and the world. Even to other worlds. And back and forth in time. Most have been recently written although I again pulled some from my novels to include and round out the book. This item is printed on demand.
