This collection takes the modern reader on fifty-three literary rides, each one only five hundred words or less. Mark Budman and Tom Hazuka, two of the top names in the genre, have compiled an anthology of mini-worlds are as diverse as the authors who created them.

Contributing writers include Steve Almond, author of My Life in Heavy Metal and Candy-freak; Aimee Bender, author of The Girl in the Flammable Skirt; Robert Boswell, author of five novels including Century's Son; Alex Irvine, author of A Scattering of Jades; L. E. Leone who writes a weekly humorous column about food and life for the San Francisco Bay Guardian; Justine Musk, author of dark-fantasy novels including Blood Angel; Susan O'Neill, writer of nonfiction and fiction with a book of short stories Don’t Mean Nothing; Short Stories of Vietnam; Katharine Weber author of several novels, her most recent is Triangle.

From Buddha to beer, sex to headless angels, there's a story here for everyone. In You Have Time for This you will find:

  • Flash fiction from forty-four authors
  • Works from across the globe
  • Highly regarded authors from all types of genres
  • Fresh work from emerging writers
  • Fifty-three stand alone pieces that tie the world together

Review:

"A really good flash fiction is like a story overheard at a bar — personal, funny, dangerous, and sometimes hard to believe. You Have Time For This distills those qualities and many others into quick tall tales by writers who are as talented as they are magical." Kevin Sampsell, author of Beautiful Blemish

Review:

"These contenders for the title of 'world's best short-short stories' are by some of the best micro and flash writers I know of." Robert Shapard, co-editor of New Sudden Fiction and Flash Fiction Forward

Synopsis:

Love, death, fantasy, and foreign lands, told with brevity and style by the best writers in the short-short fiction genre. You Have Time for This satiates your craving for fine literature without making a dent in your schedule. This collection takes the modern reader on fifty-three literary rides, each one only five hundred words or less.

Susan Wiget, October 13, 2009 (view all comments by Susan Wiget)
This collection of flash fiction--bare bone stories no more than five hundred words each--includes a wide variety of stories that, despite their brevity, have a complete beginning, middle, and end. The stories include (among others): the thoughts of two people who meet in an airplane; an unappreciative husband's karma catching up with him; a divorced couple dining out at a Chinese restaurant; and a mentally unhinged and jealous victim of unrequited love. Oh, yes, there's a bizarre science fiction story involving characters who are experiencing a disturbing metamorphosis...but I recommend that you take the time to read the book yourself.

You Have Time for This is a collection of short stories rich in character and imagination. There's a wide variety of styles and voices, so there's something there for everyone. Full of wit, humor, and drama, these stories accomplish more in a few hundred words than most novels do in a few hundred pages!
