Harry: & Other Stories

Dennis Roth, presents eleven short stories, together for the first time in one volume, that provide thought-provoking outlooks on the human condition where we, the readers, must ask ourselves, “How could they?” and then “How could they not?”In the title piece, we view the struggles of a middle-aged man who has lost his job in the mills of Pittsburgh during the collapse of the steel industry; I See You is the telling of a couple’s extraordinary anniversary tradition; we watch the hopelessness of a drunken witness to a dreadful accident; the tragedy of a father and son’s failed relationship after the death of the wife and mother; the loving relationship between a grandfather and his grandson cut short by death.This is not light reading, but deep thinking is not a light subject.
