| 520 | |a Here are the soldiers and doctors and veterans, wives and lovers and children, who have been affected in ways both subtle and profound by the cataclysms of our times. In "Blushes," a respiratory disease specialist comes out of retirement to help with COVID patients. In "Passport," an elderly woman finds herself, in contemplation of her passport, sent back to her three-year-old self, orphaned by World War II. These stories show history in the making, the reverberations across decades of each conflict. Rich with triumph and loss, grief and missed opportunities, moments of grace and contemplatio, Twelve Post-War Tales is a collection of masterpieces in miniature. | ||
