About This Book
Some of the stories are fictional, like Investigations of a Kafkaesque Nature about the philosophical ruminations of a dog, An Idea for a Short Story about a man who has suffered a stroke and comes out of it after his granddaughter reads him his poems, and A Walk in the Desert about a man who gets lost in the desert, has a friendly argument with God, and is rescued by those he thought were coming to kill him.Some of the stories are biographical, like Grandma, about the strong, loving woman, with whom our parents deposited us when they went on their summer vacations, Getting into Trouble, about the time my friend and I took a bus to an amusement park in another town and had to walk back home because we'd spent too much money on rides and hotdogs, and Dancing with Anna about the time my wife asked me if I'd like to invite the beautiful salon dancer, Anna A., to our home to teach me how to dance, and I said yes, which my wife did not expect.
