I have only just read “The Insignificant Penny” and I remember with a smile what Sunnie Day said on Novelty Fiction. “One of my favorite things to do as an author is to construct a story in which an object is given a life. It takes a life of its own.” Knowing this, I understand better why the simple tale of this American penny has astounded me so. Sunnie does make it happen: life into a non-animated object; this is ridiculously good and such a fun read. I time-traveled on different continents, met people, fell in and out of love in seconds; together with the penny I went about the world and witnessed man’s folly just like his tenderness. Right up until the end I followed “The Insignificant Penny” and smiled with a tear coming up my eye. This short story is a must read because it is fresh, tender, funny and told brilliantly.
