The Venice Stories

“Magnificent writing, with great depth of insight into the human mind and character.”
- Robert J. Green, author of The Fantasy Passport.

“The stories are pungently written and have the advantage of twisty endings one does not expect. Some are funny, some dark, but all well told and about one of the great cities of the world.”
- Lynn-Marie Smith

These mesmerizing short stories offer a dozen glimpses into the experience of Venice, its people and its surprises, written during the author's sabbatical stay in Cannaregio. Here are a dozen masterful vignettes that will take you to that city in northeastern Italy, situated on a group of 118 small islands that are separated by canals and linked by bridges … and dreams.

Randy Becker, a retired Minister, lives in Key West, Conch Republic; he had the wonderful opportunity of living in Venezia and captures some of the magic of that place in his collection of short stories: The Venice Stories.
