Les tres narracions que conformen aquesta volum de les aventures del comissari Montalbano no decebran ningú, ben al contrari: A El primer cas d'en Montalbano, el lector patirà una curiosa impressió, en descobrir el jove vice-comissari vivint una relació amorosa no amb Livia, sinó amb una tal Mery, i és clar, recentment traslladat, es veurà embolicat en un afer tèrbol que comença amb una bufetada originada per una disputa de trànsit. També a Set dilluns, el comissari haurà de pensar molt per resoldre l'endevinalla que li plantegen els assassinats d'uns curiosos animals. I a Retorn als orígens Montalbano investigarà el cas del segrest fingit d'una nena de tres anys, darrere del qual s'intueix tota una trama mafiosa. Amb el rerafons d'una Sicília plena de vida que amara tota la narració amb els seus paisatges i sabors, Camilleri regala als lectors un nou capítol de les aventures del comissari Montalbano, un personatge únic, especial i ordinari alhora, que encarna l'excepcionalitat de l'heroi i els dubtes, temors i emocions de l'home corrent. Andrea Camilleri (Porto Empedocle, 1925) va ser guionista, dramaturg i poeta abans d'assolir l'èxit internacional amb les aventures del comissari Salvo Montalbano, el personatge que va batejar en homenatge al seu admirat Manuel Vázquez Montalbán. Més de dos milions de lectors de tot el món s'han delectat amb els casos enrevessats que ha de resoldre aquest inoblidable comissari. Edicions 62 n'ha publicat, entre altres, L'excursió a Tíndari, Un fil de fum, La concessió el telèfon, La presa de Macallè, Un gir decissiu o La paciència de l'aranya.

This volume of The Conium Review?features nine new stories from Emily Koon, Tamara K. Walker, Rita Bullwinkel, Marina Petrova, Kayla Pongrac, Ingrid Jendrzejewski, Zach Powers, and Theodora Ziolkowski. The pieces include a mix of flash fiction and short stories, each with a penchant for innovative characterization, bizarre settings, and other weirdness. You?ll discover a dictator in a jar, a modernized fairy tale, a person living as a Tinseltown extra, and more. This issue includes "The People Who Live in the Sears," by Emily Koon, winner of of The Conium Review's 2015 Innovative Short Fiction Contest. The contest was judged by Amelia Gray, author of Gutshot, THREATS, Museum of the Weird, and AM/PM. Amelia called Emily's story "a little George Saunders, a little Don Barthelme, but best of all a lot of its own thing, the neon Jazzercize glory of the 80s going up like the asbestos-fueled fire it features."

In a town called Perception, the citizens are ruled by an extravagant madness. It demands they vandalize the gardens of any neighbours whose words they cannot understand, spit venom at the devious devils who are clearly trying to make them look stupid, dream up retaliatory sexual exploits to repay the scheming men in their lives, and that an elderly citizen should dance in the street in imitation of a disabled, flying rodent to attempt to embarrass her visiting relatives. And amid this mayhem, the chief constable is desperate to identify the criminal amongst his citizens but is as flummoxed as the rest; while in the community?s goldfish bowls, the behaviour of the fish mimics the human pantomime around them, which engages the interest of an eccentric, local professor.The Tragedy of Perception is a comic allegory about communication problems.
