Brothers, Fathers, and Other Strangers
Description
BROTHERS, FATHERS, AND OTHER STRANGERS includes stories about family dysfunction in a not-so-blended family, work, Adolf Hitler’s imagined alternative lives and possible reincarnation, the spirit of Kurt Cobain, a green angel giving an aging alcoholic man a second chance at redemption, men struggling to find some meaning in their lives, and more.

Are they, are we all, in some sense, living in the company of strangers?
In all there are thirty-eight stories and flash fiction pieces in this collection, most of which have been published in notable literary
