Richard Gessner is a writer and artist with a unique and recognisable style that confronts the subterranean surrealism of the everyday and is predicated upon his skewed yet convincing vision of evolution and the interconnectedness of everything animate and inanimate. At once both drily droll and psychologically mind-blowing, his work comes highly recommended. Allen Ashley, British Fantasy Award winner Richard Gessner is one of the most original writers working today. A fusion of narrative and the poetic, the stories in Greek in the Wind are, like fables and myths, embedded in a timelessness without being disconnected from the everyday world. Somewhere on the evolutionary spectrum between Raymond Roussel and Jorge Luis Borges, Gessner can, with wit, humor, and rampant ingenuity, expand a handful of details into a microworld. Or invent one. Spacetime is malleable in these fictions, in which images create not the disorder of collage but the harmony of mosaic. Vincent Czyz
