Worlds in Small comprises the world’s first collection of minimalist short stories, with a long preface and brief commentaries by the “master gatherer,” John Robert Colombo. Each miniature is less than fifty words. Believe it or not, a few have no words at all. Through the magic of minimalism, we watch as something/everything comes of nothing.

Reviews:

—Eve Drobot, The Globe and Mail

“The searchings of John Robert Colombo are significant and profound.”
—Andrei Voznesensky

“John Robert Colombo is a national treasure.”
—Spider Robinson
