Exquisite descriptions and whimsical illustrations transport you into other worlds. Legumes: a collection of cleverly worded vignettes, each one a depiction of a facet of life - a person, an encounter, a memory, an experience. Be transported into these scenes one short story at a time. This is a book to enjoy many times over, as each chapter presents a world to return to again and again to digest another layer.

"After careful consideration and precise fondling," you will find Gabriela Knutson's thin volume of whimsy, absurdism in the workplace, and lust in the Alamo haystacks a diversion that re-forms as something deeper, more thoughtful, and poignant. You might find yourself three stories past a 2-page tale of a missing box of junk when the true meaning hits you. "Legumes" is a 70-page book and Amazon states that it has faith you'll read it in less than an hour. Maybe that's true, but you should revisit it often, as there's a lot more waiting to burst forth from these little beans of ridiculousness.
