Tunnel Vision Review
The prestigious review site, Midwest Book Reviews, has written a review on my new book Tunnel Vision. This is a condensed view:
Hank Quense's anthology Tunnel Vision belays the notion that sci-fi is entirely serious ... some 22 times, in short pieces that juxtapose humor and diversity. It's an expanded reprint of a work that first appeared in 2009, today sporting two additional pieces.
Many of its stories highlight the central theme outlined by Quense in his introduction: "The title Tunnel Vision comes from a trait displayed by many of the characters: the ability to view events through a set of filters that allows them to interpret the events in strange ways."
Each story is a prime example of diversity, with disparate backgrounds and environments contrasting nicely with characters that both purposefully and accidentally fall into strange situations.
The result is a collection that presents humor and sci-fi in very different ways designed to not only prompt laughter, but thought-provoking reflections on how ordinary life can be warped into something quite extraordinary through the fine art of employing tunnel vision to its progression.
