Salvage and Demolition (Tim Powers)

This novelette is a tangled knot in time, centering an odd manuscript that is found in a box in 2012 linked with odd events in 1957. It is a very brief love story that spanned 55 years. Like most of Powers's stories, it is odd and mystical, but without the length of a novel form the full atmosphere doesn't really have time to coalesce. Enjoyable, but lacking depth because it is so short.
