MASTER OF MINIATURES [Solid Objects, 2010, 51pp.] "Shepard considers the Japanese special effects director Eiji Tsuburaya and his cinematic inventions for the science-fiction movie we know as Godzilla. And like many of Shepard's stories, MASTER OF MINIATURES limns the intense and alienated world of a focused expert obsessed with his field of endeavor, at a cost to his marriage and children. For Japanese survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the fifties, America itself seemed king of the monsters, to be looked at with fear and awe. This is a poignant and important story that seems to me a summation and condensation of many themes that have preoccupied Shepard before. Like a diamond held aloft, each turn of this tale in his deft hand flashes still more light."--Ron Hansen. "A perfect embodiment of mid-20th-century anxiety, MASTER OF MINIATURES touches on hubris and nuclear testing, lunatic perfectionism and fire-tornadoes and the schisms wrought by grief and silence. In Jim Shepard's deft and darkly brilliant tale about the master behind a legendary film, the complexities of creating a monster and shooting special effects resonate exactly with one man's inner life. No one writes like Shepard, quietly layering loss over loss--and no one orchestrates catastrophe better."--Andrea Barrett. [back cover copy] THE BOOK OF ARON [Knopf ARC, 2015, 260pp.] "Dave Eggers has said, 'Let's hope Shepard becomes as influential as he should be. He's the best we've got.' His work, as the critic John Freeman put it, 'should be essential reading.' And on NPR, Michael Schaub called him 'one of the most perceptive, intelligent, and fearless writers of fiction in America today.' This has been proven over and over again, in six previous novels and four collections of stories, and we believe THE BOOK OF ARON will immediately join the short list of classics about children caught up in the Holocaust. [] As Anne Michaels has written: 'This moving novel bears witness to human complexity with an uncompromising compassion. It is also a testament not only to Janusz Korczak and the children in the Warsaw Ghetto but to every child abandoned in war. History must open our hearts to the present and this is Jim Shepard's powerful achievement.'" [back cover copy] THE WORLD TO COME [Knopf ARC, 2017, 258pp.] 10 stories. "Shepard is a fantastic writer--compassionate, funny, and fearless--[whose work] does what great writing always does: inspires us to look more closely at life, and be more caring."--George Saunders. "[Shepard's] stories come bearing enough unimpeachable detail to ensure they never sink into the mush of a half-baked world. . . . [His] approach gives the individual stories heft and [his] collections a dizzying range."--The New York Times Book Review. "Arresting. . . . [Shepard] has a knack for compressing a novel's worth of life into 30 or 40 pages."--The Boston Globe. "An astonishingly powerful demonstration of fiction's capacity to transport us across time and space. . . . An absolute pleasure to read."--The Christian Science Monitor.
