In Forest for the Trees & Other Stories,<\/em> Mathieu Cailler delivers a diverse collection of fifteen shorts that perfectly captures characters steeped in their own troubles. With clear and pointed prose, Cailler creates a conduit through which readers experience the characters\u2019 sufferings, losses, revelations, their moments of connection, and their snippets of happiness. The author\u2019s experimentation with voice and point of view makes this collection honest and accessible, allowing readers to feel true compassion by better understanding others and the imperfect world we all inhabit. A must-read by one of America’s rising voices in short fiction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
