After the birth of his first child, dramatist, fiction writer, and former Blue Man Group member Jason Sinclair Long set out to write one piece of microfiction every day for a year. Tiny Giants: 101 Stories Under 101 Words collects the very best of those pieces. A genre-jumping, maniacal look at love, loneliness, joy, despair, terror, and laugh-out-loud humor, Long's work is a study in brevity and a firm claim that a perfect story can ultimately be told with a scant handful of words.
