Description

In Signs of Life, Norman Waksler deftly weaves stories of change both brutal and subtle, encounters both urban and urbane. Covering life from the first childhood pangs of love to the moral conundrums of midlife, the stories in this collection delicately reveal the intersection of sepia-toned nostalgia and full-color truth. The reader is plunged into ordinary lives punctuated by extraordinary events, seeing how, as Waksler writes, “…even the most satisfactory life [can] be broken apart and rearranged by a single bit of wayward information.”

Praise

“Like Chekhov, Waksler finds the drama in small problems…”

-Dale Barrigar
