Gypsies, Interviews, and Thieves: A Collection of Short Stories

By Daniel German

GYPEIES, INTERVIEWS, AND THEVES: A COLLECTION OF SHORT STORIES contains four amusing tales from the mind of young writer, Daniel German. As stated in the collection's title, the first three stories focus on a family of gypsies, a young man's job interview, and a conversation between some art thieves, respectfully. The final story in this collection, "Shut Down," is a departure from the other three works. Where the stories that the collection gets its namesake from are based in reality, the final piece is a sci-fi story about a young woman and her talking car. These dramatic stories will definitely inspire and enchant, but when reviewing... keep the clichés to a minimum.

Despite the renewed sunny attitude of the city, Jetta sits on a bench watching tourists get unwittingly robbed by other gypsies. A cry comes from Jetta’s lap, she looks down and realizes that her legs are shaking so much she has jostled
