Description
30.5 is a collection of 31 reflectional fiction stories influenced by
the author’s vaguest view point of the universe and her autobiography.
What makes 30.5 a good read, is presence of an element of surprise
within each story, contradiction of what is discussed and what happens
in the story, a twist in the conclusion raised by a puzzling statement
emphasized as a footnote on the bottom of all pages of some stories
which reader would subconsciously link to the ending of the story even
if there is no indication of presence of such link, and how each stories
opens up with a mini-journal which explains in a poetic way how the
author felt prior to creating that fiction story. The introduction and
conclusion of the book also have an unusual form as the introduction is
written in form a letter from the younger version of the author to her
older versions and the conclusion is in form of a journal of a
descendant of her. Some stories are more biographical that the others
and some are extremely philosophical and puzzling. Either way, there is a
story there for every taste.
