Work-In-Progress
He has left his hometown to avoid an ex-girlfriend who has since remarried. In his new town, he lives a mundane existence until a new co-worker invites him into her intimate world and pushes him farther from the safety of his old identity. In this experimental novella, Ran Walker uses flash fiction to write a "fuga hacia adelante" (flight forward) story, modeled after the works of Argentinean author César Aira. In a story that uses no names, uses no traditional plot structure, and flirts with the boundaries of meta-fiction, Work-In-Progress is the most unique of Walker's works to date.

The World Is Yours

Maybe an eclectic collection of stories wasn't such a bad thing after all.At least he hoped so.***Ran Walker's twentieth book pulls together a wide variety of microfiction stories. From the raw to the sublime, this collection explores Walker's ever-evolving take on the form.

This Is Not a Poem/Story
"Cotton Candy"<BR>She loved cotton candy, the feel of the sugar tufts brushing against her skin, even the coarseness of the wet pieces that hardened into tiny bricks of sugar. The colors, pink and blue and yellow, all colors and flavors competing for attention on her palate, aroused more than her hunger.<BR>She wondered what it would feel like to wear it, to sleep on it, to have it as hair she could style. She relished this idea until she realized that people would one day want to touch and pull and squeeze her cotton candy, and she could never allow that.<BR>-----<BR>Ran Walker continues to blur the fine line between microfiction and prose poetry in this new collection of 100-word stories, spanning many different genres, yet filtered through a lens of Afrosurrealism, Afrofuturism, Afro Gothicism, satire, and humor.

Chante House, a recently minted lawyer, is encouraged to run for the senate seat by her mentor, a man who has a few secrets of his own. And Keith Lawrence, a fifteen-year-old student at Daily High School, is wrestling with the loss of a classmate to racial violence and a detached mother who seems powerless to help him cope. These three stories intersect against a landscape of race and politics in a historic election that threatens to change this small MIssissippi town forever.
