The Case of the Missing Photographs
The Third Collection of Stories
By
Charles Edward Eaton
"Eaton is a master in his literary style: witty, ironic,
clever in poetic phrasings; keen insights embedded again
and again in each story. 'The Leech in the Chinese
Rainhat' is worth the price of THE CASE OF THE
MISSING PHOTOGRAPHS. It's a masterpiece."
- R. W. Stallman
" ...we are in the presence here of a writer in revolt
against the modern tradition of Hemingway. Eaton is to
prose fiction what T. S. Eliot was to the school of
Whitman and it may well be that he is turning
contemporary prose in a new direction."
- NEW HAVEN REGISTER
"These are uncommon stories by an uncommon
writer. Their intensity, truth and beauty set them
apart. "
- WINSTON-SALEM JOURNAL
" . ..everyone seriously interested in contemporary
fiction should read it."
- THE REAL PAPER
"Eaton, a poet as well as writer of fiction, knows his
craft thoroughly and subtly ."
- CHATTANOOGA TIMES
The title story was included in the
1972
O.
llenry Prize
