New Review - Zoran Ferić – Make a Doctor Run (Absinthe)

The latest addition to the website is my review of Croatian author Zoran Ferić's short story, Make a Doctor Run.

Make a Doctor Run is one of those stories that grasps onto an odd ideas and worries it out until it's exhausted. In Ferić's case, this is the gravedigger's game of making doctors run before picking them up and giving them a lift to the nearest tram station. On the surface, the idea doesn't seem to have leg - with Ferić it does. What results is a strange, entertaining, rather funny story that happily refrains from wearing out its welcome. Lots of fun.
