1000 Cranes
Village of One Thousand Cranes
October 2006
There is a Japanese legend that says whoever folds a thousand cranes will be granted a wish. Papaveria Press presents a moving and perhaps timely short story by Danny Adams, called Village of One Thousand Cranes. It is the tale of a young Japanese-American girl who, while living in an internment camp, comes to understand how wishes can change the world.The book measures 3 inches high by 2.5 wide and is case bound with a reinforced spine including headbands. It is covered in a red cloth patterned with cherry blossoms and inside it is lined with thick, red endpapers. Click on the picture to your right for a glimpse at the detail of the interior. Danny Adams is the co-author, with Philip Jose Farmer, of the short science fiction novel The City Beyond Play, forthcoming from PS Publishing at the end of 2006. He is a member of the Science Fiction Poetry Association and has far too many publishing credits to list here. Check out Danny's online journal for more information. [back]
