Vera Nazarian’s short fiction and novellas showcase the range of her imagination in compressed form. The eight works span from 2005 to 2018 and cover fantasy, literary fiction, and speculative themes, united by Nazarian’s distinctive lyrical style.
The Clock King and the Queen of the Hourglass (2005) and The Duke in His Castle (2008) draw on fairy tale traditions, while The Young Woman in a House of Old (2011) and Old Farts (2012) explore aging and change. Three Names of the Hidden God (2012) turns to mythology, and Life, Inc. (2014) takes a more satirical approach. These shorter works give readers a concentrated dose of Nazarian’s interests and voice.
