Book review: SHORT SHORT STORIES FROM A LONG LONG LIFE

 

SHORT SHORT STORIES FROM A LONG LONG LIFE consists of stories gleaned from many years of living. 

Some are whimsical, some are terrible and some are totally imagined from a philosophical view of that long life. 

There is a story of a tragic high school love affair of fifty years ago set off from a chance meeting of sports photographers at a track meet. A confused innocent little boy shoots a little girl in elementary school. An idolizing woman spends the night with the ghost of Lincoln in the White House. A bully dies in Vietnam, despite his friend's efforts to save him from the war. Aliens appear in the form of paving stones

In all, there are sixteen tales from that long, long life. They are touching or thought-provoking or humorous or strange. They extend far back in memory from old age or happen today. 

Despite being fiction they are very, very real.
