Meg Tuite's idea for Exquisite Quartet is not only original but it also brings such a pleasurable experience. I was fortunate to be a part of the monthly collaboration project more than once (unplanned, as it was) and both times, the end result really came as a surprise. Meg is a brilliant writer and co-ordinated, edited the quartets with grace and ease. Way more difficult than it would seem. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of these whimsical, timely and intriguing, diverse gems. If you want to continue to read Meg's magic, then turn yourself onto Used Furniture Review, the online zine, where Exquisite Quartet appears every month in 2012.
Meg Tuite has put together a wonderful anthology here. Each of the "quartets" is a story started off by meg and co-authored by three other writers. I followed the quartets as they appeared at Used Furniture Review and I'll surely get a copy now that they have appeared as a book.
