Angry Candy

The Seattle Times said of Angry Candy: “Ellison’s stories rattle the bars of complacency that people put around their souls . . . Razor sharp . . . piercingly profound.” Once again, Ellison’s writing defies all labels. These seventeen stories by a modern master are an “assembled artifact” of anger and faith – as bittersweet as a”jalapeno-laced cinnamon bear.” The sixteen stories collected here are spread over the farthest stretches of time and space, but even the bleakest of them is warmed by a passionate faith in the endurance of life and its ultimate possibilities.
