Bøger af Michael Ignatius

A classic quick read packed with captivating material in this collection of eloquent and radiant new stories that start really short and get longer as you progress through the pages. The variety in style and subject matter is prodigious as all these stories have one point in common-the enduring quality of the writing, which places them among some of the most intriguing of the world's new flash fiction and typical length short stories. Through 101 unique tales, Ignatius illumines life's moments, how they can be forever altered by chance encounters, action taken, or by a simple twist of fate. Often, moral axioms are inextricably intertwined between the lines. Many of the stories have an "autobiographical feel" as they take place in Ignatius's home territory-the small towns in Connecticut, the city of San Diego, or treks throughout Europe and by engaging his own Catholic faith background and Polish heritage.

It is quite possible that he will die while in the process of deciding. Do the ends justify the means? It is a question that he has entertained his entire life. He must now finally decide. It becomes a choice between life and death. His own decision. His own life. Where will it go?
