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.

"It's hard to sort out which is the more enjoyable aspect of this collection: the short stories themselves, or Colombo's scholarly explications de texte....Fun stuff." — Eve Drobot, The Globe and Mail
