If the past is a foreign country, childhood is a vanished civilization filled with mysterious monuments and charming ruins, and always colored by our own wildly unreliable memories.
The 18 stories in this collection offer a kaleidoscopic view of childhood’s forgotten tropes and dizzying leaps of logic, and are by turns hilariously paranoid, discombobulated, claustrophobic, and filled with yearning. A parrot regales his new owner with an increasingly outrageous story of his own picaresque past; a woman taking care of her aging mad-scientist father is alarmed by his new teenage sidekick; a dying superhero recalls himself and his archnemesis as lonely grade-school outcasts; coma victims become the unwitting vessels of a shadowy weather-control project; suburbanites, menaced by their material possessions, regress to a prelapsarian state; a trio of bumbling fools in a near-future dystopia try to decide what to do about a giant robot that suddenly appears without explanation.
“Reading Holly Tavel’s The Weather in Fritz Bemelmans Park is like going to a grand exotic circus where one can see wonders and spectacles in every direction. These stories are fantastical, whimsical, and a provocative delight.” —Robert Lopez, author of Kamby Bolongo Mean River and Good People
“In Tavel’s fictional world one finds fugues, rubrics, cartoons, ethnographies of imagined persons, logic tests, prose poems, and surreal fables. Tavel’s stories mix media, registers, and diction as the author leaps and pirouettes across great associations, yet Tavel is never in danger of falling, nor is the conjured world doomed to vanish—the sentences are too finely made. Please open this cabinet of wonders.” —Anthony Tognazzini, author of I Carry A Hammer in My Pocket for Occasions Such As These
“Precise, perverse, sly, and entrancing, these stories open up layer by layer like Matryoshka dolls. Tavel’s narrators take giddy, surprising leaps – into the animal and the inquisitive, into the superheroic and epic and subjunctive realms. The Weather in Fritz Bemelmans Park is a wonder.” —Nelly Reifler, author of See Through Stories and Elect H. Mouse State Judge

These strange, beautiful stories arrive from unexpected angles gleaming with wit and charm. Tavel drills into some of the deepest, most elusive corners of the human riddle and retrieves treasures as fresh, perfectly formed and curiously expressed as Max Ernst collages. I loved reading these inventive works and dug them even more on the re-read. Recommended.Product details

The Weather in Fritz Bemelmans Park edition by Holly Tavel Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The stories in this collection are fresh and weird and funny and beautifully written.
"Big Ole walked across the sea from Norway to Newfoundland, said Father. He left behind a fat wife with a face scorched and dull as an old copper pot, a herd of ramshackle goats, and a bevy of children who would not shut their pie-holes. Halfway across the sea he met Harald the Mad, who was headed back the other way with his bride atop his head. The bridal veil gathered bluefins in its mesh, and two virginal blonde braids skimmed the foamy swells. Two monoliths met in the middle of the sea, said Father. Do I even need to mention that their torsos were epic?"
This collection of stories is full of whimsy and delicious rhythmic prose. It is beautiful - in a bizarre, dark, and humorous way that forever burns its imagery in your mind.
Holly Tavel is one of the great American authors of our time.
