In this revised edition, if there is one thread running through most of the stories, it is each protagonist’s hauntingly familiar self-reflection and emotion in encountering challenging events and relationships - that is, in going 'against the current' of life. These stories of varying length and styles range in seriousness and humor and contain a rich reading lode deserving much mining.
