Bumping and Other Stories e-bog

From a Southeast Asian jungle where the greatest safety is as close to the dangeras you can get, to a suburban backyard where a neighbors cat moderatesa wounded mans personal crisis to communicate, Bumping and Other Stories isall over the map. Jack Savage has assembled twelve very different tales includinga Ukrainian prisoners account of the improbable events in an abandonedslaughterhouse leading to his twenty-fi ve year incarceration, a powerful off-stageplayer reminded that some turns of our past can never be reconciled withour present, and an estranged anniversary couple who forced to once againchoose each other. Bumping and Other Stories is an eclectic mix of stories about a past lost andfound, a present rediscovered, a recurring dream and a living nightmare with justiceto meat out, of a childlike wonderment, a life of learning lost, and two soulssharing one affl iction. The stories are hopeful and often ironic but all with a certainsubjectivity that allows the reader a vote in the referendum of lifes little trials. As Bernard in Savages "e;Bumping"e; puts it: ...the cavalcade of what-ifs that are stillmine to ponder.
