Tim Horvath
What if there were a city that consisted only of restaurants? What if Paul Gauguin had gone to Greenland instead of Tahiti? What if there were a field called umbrology, the study of shadows, where physicists and shadow puppeteers worked side by side? Full of speculative daring though firmly anchored in the tradition of realism, Tim Horvathâ€™s stories explore all of this and moreâ€” blending the everyday and wondrous to contend with age-old themes of loss, identity, imagination, and the search for human connection. Whether making offhand references to ,Mystery Science Theater,, providing a new perspective on Heideggerâ€™s philosophy and forays into Nazism, or following the imaginary travels of a library book, Horvathâ€™s writing is as entertaining as it is thought provoking.
