Book Description
AT THE SUBATOMIC LEVEL OF STORYTELLING EXISTS A NEW GENRE THAT
HAS NEVER BEEN EXPOSED - UNTIL TODAY
HAS NEVER BEEN EXPOSED - UNTIL TODAY
Nanotales is a gripping new style of literature perfectly formed for a
generation with no time and very little patience. In a groundbreaking work
that will redefine the boundaries of storytelling, Ziv Navoth takes the
reader on an emotional rollercoaster ride into the trials and tribulations
of people like you.
Shorter than a short story, a nanotale is the perfect antidote to
modern-day life; designed to be read between tube stations, with a morning
coffee, or at the bus-stop. With no chapters, no page numbers and no index,
Nanotales can transport the reader into another world and back in seven
minutes. We are thrust from the moral conundrum of the advertising
executive briefed to create a campaign for an imaginary war, to the anguish
of the widow faced with explaining her husband's death to her little boy.
Each nanotale is capable of producing an intense emotional response,
whether this is pain, panic, euphoria or ecstasy.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Wicked idea!,
By Booklooker "booklooker" (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nanotales (Paperback)
What a great idea! But not just an idea - this book really delivers! Well, these stories really deliver. The hype about a new genre of literature for the masses who can't sit through a film at the cinema without rustling papers and ruining it for everyone, is not only true, but these stories are provocative, touching, engaging, inspiring, thoughtful, witty and plain funny - choose one to suit your mood! If you don't like it, turn to another, and then come back to the first one on another day. Characters you believe in, fresh dialogue, identifiable dilemmas - and real plot development in just a few pages. A wicked read...

Pleasant,
By Kleber Castro "kleber" (Brasil, São Paulo) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nanotales (Paperback)
This is a new aprouch to tell stories. This book to exhale intelligence and inspiration. Just read.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Just (very) short stories,
By
This review is from: Nanotales (Paperback)
The hype about this being a paradigm shift in literature is largely marketing rhetoric. This is just a collection of short stories. The decision not to name them, nor give the volume page numbers is a strategic one. But that does not make this revolutionary, and those who believe it does are credulous.
But although it is not a new genre, as the publishers gleafully and disingenuously claim, it is an entertaining book. 81 very short stories, many of which are truly entertaining, none of which are truly bad. Some hit the mark, some miss it, but not too widely. There's a preoccupation with death and loss which makes the tone dark in places, but there's humour and love in there too.
