Exit 4

Exit Four is a collection of off-beat literary fiction originally published in university literary journals and elsewhere. The reader will find a long and very dark story set in subways in London Paris and New York; the invention of the chair and how that disrupted an ancient culture; a couple who meet in a supermarket and how that place prefigures their lives together; an old man riding a train who realizes that a young artist is drawing his gnarled hands; two lovers whose only real connection is a painting on a museum wall; and others. Some of these stories could happen even if unlikely; others take place only in the uncertain world of the mind.
