| Apart from frequent mention of aeroplanes and airlines, this collection of short
stories is eclectic and diverse. It deals with emotions, humour, bad taste, stupidity,
grief, flashes of brilliance, and horror; just some of life’s interesting
things. Rednik sees it all like the threads in a tapestry while the people comprise
The Warp.
he writer’s chance has been to meet a lot of wild people, mostly involved
in development assistance. We read of Remulas, a PNG Renaissance man; Chingai
the disturbed and accommodating woman of Mindoro; Pete the dispossessed engineer
from Zimbabwe; Gopal the good Brahman of Imphal; and Aziz and Francoise as they
travel in Tajikistan and Afghanistan. Our writer’s chance also has been
to correspond with an unusual Dane, they have not met, but co-wrote three of
the stories.
The Warp will make you laugh and question why you are doing so.
