The Silent Gondoliers
Del Ray, January, 2001.
Trade paperback, pages.
ISBN: 0345442636
William Goldman, the acclaimed screenwriter
(Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Marathon Man,
and Misery) and author
of The Princess Bride regales us with another tale
from the loquacious S. Morgenstern. This magical fable tells the story
of Luigi, the talented but tone deaf gondolier with the
goofy smile and the warm heart. The story is filled with
humor, Morgenstern's funny rambling digressions and, of
course, the moral of the fable. A re-issue of a story Goldman
wrote in 1983, it's a short work -- only
110 pages -- and it's over all too soon.
