Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders by Neil Gaiman Book Review

Name: T. S.
Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Title: Typical Gaiman -- which is a very good thing.
Date: Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2006
Review: This collection contains exactly the sort of stories that one would expect Neil Gaiman to write -- brilliant, original, imaginative fantasy tales that occasionally make tentative steps across the border into Horror(but never quite cross over). Fantasy, but lyric fantasy, not epic, and grounded in our reality -- there are no hobbits here, and almost all these tales concern fantasy elements that seem to have somehow brushed up against our reality, rather than the reverse.

If you like Neil Gaiman's other works, you'll like these stories; if you don't, you probably won't; if you don't know whether you do or not, but you're interested enough to read Amazon reviews, then this collection provides a magnificent place to start.

I will focus on the flaws, not because the collection is flawed, or because any of these flaws are significant in comparison with the compelling and powerful strengths of the stories, but because the stories are so good that a list of their virtues would become boring ("this story is the best story about this thing since Neil Gaiman's last story about this thing.")

1) Some, most, or perhaps all of these stories have appeared in prior publications; I believe "The Facts in the Case of the Departure of Miss Finch" and "Fifteen Painted Cards from a Vampire Tarot" were in some editions of Smoke and Mirrors, "A Study in Emerald" was available for a long time (if it isn't still) on Neil Gaiman's website, "Harlequin Valentine" has been available as a small illustrated hardcover for a long time now, etc. If you're enough of a Neil Gaiman fan to have tracked down all those disparate stories, though, in all those disparate places, this single volume will probably be a marked convenience.

2) There are stories in here that are unsettling, but none that I would classify as actually *scary* -- the sort of horror, if it can be called horror, that becomes more frightening the more imaginative you are, the way a particularly startling pattern of shadows might terrify a child but have no effect whatsoever on a more rationally-minded adult. Long time readers of Gaiman won't consider this a flaw, but rather a virtue - subtlety is far rarer in fiction these days, and far more difficult to achieve, than simple raw horror - but I mention it as a caveat to the virgin.

3) I personally felt that some of the outside references in the stories fell a bit flat, and a few of the stories fell a bit short of Gaiman's best work. The reworking of Beowulf here ("The Monarch of the Glen") was not as effective as his earlier "Bay Wolf", and felt a bit like a pastiche of Gaiman's other characters, plus Grendel. On the other hand, "The Problem of Susan" may be the most effective and disturbing reworking of a children's story since Gaiman's own "Snow, Glass, Apples" in _Smoke and Mirrors_, and "A Study in Emerald" is simultaneously one of the best Lovecraft pastiches and one of the best Sherlock Holmes pastiche I've ever seen.

The following stories are contained in this collection:

1) An introduction where Gaiman details some background on each of the stories, and includes a short-short story on its own as well (titled "The Mapmaker")

2) A Study in Emerald

3) The Fairy Reel (poem)

4) October in the Chair

5) The Hidden Chamber

6) Forbidden Brides of the Faceless Slaves in the Secret House of the Night of Dread Desire

7) The Flints of Memory Lane

8) Closing Time

9) Going Wodwo (poem)

11) Other People

12) Keepsakes and Treasures

Title: While I love Neil Gaiman's works
Date: Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2014
Review: While I love Neil Gaiman's works, I've come to find I'm not particularly a fan of short stories. There are some in this anthology that I really enjoyed, others were so-so, and some I just didn't get. This anthology includes 31 short stories and a lovely introduction by Gaiman which briefly discusses the origins of each story and how they came to be, as well as an interesting story about the Mapmaker. Below is a list of the stories included in the anthology:

A Study in Emerald
The Fairy Reel
October in the Chair
The Hidden Chamber
Forbidden Brides of the Faceless Slaves in the Secret House of the Night of Dread Desire
The Flints of Memory Lane
Closing Time
Going Wodwo
Bitter Grounds
Other People
Keepsakes and Treasures
Good Boys Deserve Favors
The Facts in the Case of the Departure of Miss Finch
Strange Little Girls
Harlequin Valentine
Locks
The Problem of Susan
Instructions
How Do You Think It Feels?
My Life
Fifteen Painted Cards from a Vampire Tarot
Feeders and Eaters
Diseasemaker’s Croup
In the End
Goliath
Pages from a Journal Found in a Shoebox Left in a Greyhound Bus Somewhere Between Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Louisville, Kentucky
How to Talk to Girls at Parties
The Day the Saucers Came
Sunbird
Inventing Aladdin
The Monarch of the Glen

Most of these I listened to from the audio version, narrated by Gaiman himself. I think that endeared me to some of the stories even more than if I’d read them myself. Gaiman is a great voice actor and he really drew me into his stories. I’ll review my favorites below:

A Study in Emerald was a nice throwback to a Sherlock Holmes story. Lestrade seems omniscient at times and I enjoyed hearing him tell of how he came to his conclusions.

October in the Chair was wondrous to me and lovely. It baffles me how Gaiman comes up with some of the ideas for his stories. Who else would have thought to have the months sitting around talking and sharing stories? It’s really quite beautiful in its elegance. An excerpt from the story: October was in the chair, so it was chilly that evening, and the leaves were red and orange and tumbled from the trees that circled the grove. The twelve of them sat around a campfire…. “Your turn in the chair next time,” said October. “I know,” said November. “I like your stories. Mine are always too dark.” “I don’t think so,” said October. “It’s just that your nights are longer. And you aren’t as warm.”

Bitter Ground was an interesting story of a wanderer of sorts who has decided to give up his life. He stumbles upon a new life to lead, taking the place of a fellow that seems to have disappeared. He winds up in New Orleans where he meets some strange people.

Other People was really odd. I had no real idea where it was going, nor did I really like it, until the very end. Then it seemed brilliant. “Time is fluid here,” said the Demon.

Keepsakes and Treasures had me intrigued, more for the narrator in the story than anything else. He seems almost amoral, but he drew me in just the same. He’s basically a thug for hire for Mr. Alice, a rich-beyond-belief man with a taste for the extravagant. Mr. Alice, and indeed the narrator, I believe, show up in a couple stories in the anthology, which made me smile.

Harlequin Valentine was odd and fun. On Valentine’s Day, Harlequin gives his heart to a woman, literally. It seems he’s normally a trickster, who loves to play pranks on people, but once he’s given his heart away, playing tricks lacks the thrill that it used to hold for him. I love the twist that the story takes when Harlequin’s desire guesses who he is and decides what to do with the heart.

The Problem of Susan was a fun story as it is a tangent off the Chronicles of Narnia. We come upon Susan in her later years where she is dreaming of fantastical places.

Goliath was a lot of fun. It’s an expansion on the "Matrix" type of world. Interesting how a lifetime can fly by in 20 minutes.

I love The Day The Saucers Came. It’s really a short little poem, but very fun, and made even better by the way Gaiman read it (in the audio version).

Sunbird was a little odd at first. It’s a story about the Epicurean Club, who’s goal it is to taste everything edible on the planet. They’ve come to the conclusion they’ve tried everything and there’s nothing else to try. Then, it's suggested they try the Suntown Sunbird. The rest of the story follows them traveling to Suntown to track down and eat the Sunbird….and what happens to them when they do.

The Monarch of the Glen is an offshoot of the American Gods novel. It was an interesting story and really makes me want to pick up American Gods to learn more.

Review: I look forward to reading more from him. He is a great writer. There is definitely a barrier in that way he writes due to his origin.
