The Crabian Heart protects from inevitable heartaches. It's a story of young love and perhaps, more importantly, an immigrant's tale.
It is a story well-told with beautiful prose.
Aleš obeyed and thought about Enola. He missed her already. She was an enigma, something dangerous but exhilarating—like diving with sharks. Her company dulled the pain of existence.
The Crabian Heart is a living, breathing piece of fiction.
In addition to the main novella, there's a bonus short story from Erik, called Fountain of Drowned Memories.
Erik Hofstatter is not afraid to tackle the difficult subjects. Between the stories in this brief collection, he takes on both immigration and dementia with aplomb.
Recommended.
