Summary
From the multi-award-winning short story writer come six compact and masterful short tales.
They can be listened to quickly and easily, but pack a definite emotional impact. Chris McClelland is known for winning the Florida Literary Arts Alliance Award for Short Fiction, as well as the most recent Bronze Award for Short Fiction given by the Veterans' Administration. The physician in question in this collection is a young woman forced to face the dilemma many did during the recent pandemic.
Though it is written as fiction, the story reflects in great detail the anguishing personal conflicts of conscious the medical people at the time were suffering. Other stories include a tale of a neo-colonialist businessman, a reluctant capitalist caught between his duties to his company and his desire to help preserve indigenous culture.
There are also, toward the end, two opposing insights into fraternity life. One is a celebration of fellowship and the sense of brotherhood that comes along with it. The other piece is a darker view of the institution, showing how a person's mind frame makes all the difference.
