The Piano String edition by K P Ambroziak Literature Fiction eBooks
I have always adored short stories, and by that I mean "stories." Not those obscure literary things I was forced to read in college where the author seems to ramble on until they reach some ambiguous stopping point and then you have to go back and try to figure out just what the author was trying to convey. I want a story -- one with a beginning, a middle, and an end, an actual plot, hopefully a bit of action, and some sort of definitive characterization. Ambroziak delivered me a "story," and I was not disappointed.If I were to go back and dissect this as if it were a literary work, I'm certain I could discover an overall theme and the deeper intent of it all, but I left school years ago and am now content to read simply for pleasure. The Piano String caught my rapt attention in the first few lines, offered me several moments of surprise, and wound up with an unexpected, but satisfactory ending! Excellent! It is discovering gems like these which make reading worthwhile.

The Piano String edition by K P Ambroziak Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
KP Ambroziak is increasingly scaling my list of authors to watch. And also my list of deeply deranged, demented, darkly disturbed authors, but that's another matter. Or maybe its the same matter...
Did you ever find something simultaneously grotesque and undeniably attractive at the same time? Like a beautiful dismembered corpse or a grotesque alien monster you just can't look away from? That's what Ambroziak's work is like grotesquerie worthy of display in a fine art museum.
As for "The Piano String..." well, what can I say about "The Piano String?" Imagine a futuristic world as seemingly well-realized as "Blade Runner." I say this as a reader, but it's teased out in a completely offhand way within the narrative. There are hints and tricks of the light and little suggestions, but a whole cryptic urban hellscape seems hidden just under the surface, like the bulk of an iceberg. And then a "Twilight Zone"-style story plays out across this fascinating setting.
I devoured it in half an hour. You will, too. And then you'll be a believer. If you're looking for something more substantive after this aperitif, I suggest you check out Ambroziak's thoroughly twisted A PERPETUAL MIMICRY next.
Strange but I liked it reminded me of an old twilight zone 😀
Very different and suspenseful . Definitely will get your attention to the very end. The ending was very different and unexpected.
Just finished reading "The Piano String", by K. P. Ambroziak. Oh Mister Finkle you're a bad and scary little man....this was a delightful short story thriller...another great job of story telling by a brilliant writer.
Although the oracle assured Alexander of his freedom, the package left on his doorstep seems to suggest otherwise.
One trick to writing a sound short story is to craft something that is whole and complete, that is at the same time clearly a tiny piece of a larger whole. A world within a world. Structurally, Ambroziak nailed it with this story. I was completely engrossed by the up-front action of the story, the mystery, the murder, the artistry, the tragedy, all of those pieces that are woven on a tiny loom into a snippet of this man's life; all the while, hints at the rest of his world are provided that made me want to crack the glass of this perfect little snow globe and get a look at the story outside. But at the same time, I'm almost loathe to do so, because the hints given as to the nature of that larger world are pretty disconcerting.
As to the overall feel of the story, there is definitely a Twilight Zone-esque sense to it, but in a beautifully unique way. Where Serling often focused on the feelings of his individuals, Ambroziak's focus in this story is grander and more abstract. The central character, Alexander, is in fact, at a remove from his feelings. He is entirely possessed by his music, his interior reality, dismissive of all else to the point of tragic destruction.
While the tiny, concrete details in this story the piano, the tabby cat, the charcoals, the neighbors are all utterly real and compelling, the real focus of the story is on the workings of the universe, the distinction between fate and destiny. The notes Alexander plays intersect with the larger orchestra of his world to determine the end of the piece, or at least the end of his part in it.
I am enchanted by this story, and enthralled by the writing. I am also beyond thrilled at the thought that I have not only one but two more stories by this author lined up in my queue!
