17 Stories and 5 Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781304642370)

The 17 stories and five poems collected here represent the short fiction that Bob Parker has created over four decades. The style of these stories vary. They range from first-person to third-person, from a man's perspective to a woman's, from hard-boiled to romantic, and from shallow glitz to heartfelt searching. The themes range from adolescent love to family love, and from wisdom to defeat. The stories emphasize plot and character, with the early stories having a narrative drive, while the later, mature stories focus on character in a search for depth.
