Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Eulogy for a Ghost and Other Somber Incidents features short stories about family life and social relationships, as well as the social conventions that give structure to those relationships.But in these stories, those conventions also function as a veneer to cover over violent impulses, impulses kept in check to some degree by those same conventions and caring relationships.Each of these stories alludes, in some way, to the antisocial impulses that can disrupt the safety and care of loving interactions.In the short story 'Eulogy for a Ghost,' Don is convinced that the gun his brother just used to kill himself is an antique. He wants the police to give him the gun because he believes 'Antique Road Show' would find it valuable. His wife says that even if the gun is valuable, the police wouldn't release it to him because they need it for evidence. Plus, he needs to practice what he's going to say at his brother's funeral service that afternoon.Don doesn't listen to his wife and goes to the police station to get the gun back. They refuse and an argument escalates until he hits one of the police officers and is arrested. After his bail is posted, and he finishes delivering his rambling statement in the church, Don believes he sees his dead brother coming up the aisle.Author BioRetired teacher Frances Webb grew up in Chatham, New Jersey, and now lives in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This mixed genre of short stories and poems set in the 1950s, '60s, and '70s have one thing in common: They show how travel opens the world to new ideas, yet expresses the universality of mankind.Roamers and Wanderers is a collection of short stories and some poetry set in different countries or cities and written over a period of about forty years. Each is about travel and the effect the trip has on the traveler. Characters may react in negative or positive ways. In one case, memories surface, resulting in emotional turmoil. Primarily in the poems, political issues are visited.In the first short story, 'Markers,' a newly married woman confronts the controlling behavior exhibited by her husband.The poem 'Take Off' reveals the universal fear of flying. In the poem 'Nobody Knows,' a woman reflects on how she appears to others looking crazy in the airport as she walks back and forth looking for the ground transportation sign.In 'Remembering Caracas,' the narrator is waiting in a Rhode Island train station and notices a provocative sentence built into the tile floor: 'I travel not to get someplace but travel for travel's sake.' This exemplifies all the stories in this collection.(About the Author)Retired teacher Frances Webb has written many short stories over the years and plans her next book to be another short story collection. She grew up in a small town in North Jersey in a house built in the 1890s by her grandfather.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From Putting Mrs Dawson Back Together:'Yes, go on ? Ann Are you there Ann ? I think you have more to say, Ann.''No ? I ? Just that you are sitting there like a stone and a purple one that is so stuck to the window that the whole room is turning purple and you don't even notice it?''Tell me, have you had any dreams lately ''I don't dream.''Everyone dreams.''Not me. No, wait. I did have one last night.''And what was that ''A head fell off a body and rolled down a hill into flames.''A pretty angry dream.''I'm not angry.''I know. Your dream is angry. Perhaps you need a rest.'This collection of four stories considers emotional fragility. Sometimes fragility is out in the open. Other times it is buried or camouflaged.The first of the stories is the title story, 'Putting Mrs Dawson Back Together.' It follows a woman who has had a complete mental collapse triggered by the imminent death of a close friend. Just as Mrs Dawson receives joyful news that she wants to share with her friend, she is afraid of disrespecting her friend's pain, and this weighs heavily on her.Unable to cope with his wife's illness, Mr Dawson settles her into a mental hospital, where she encounters a snoring roommate. This forces Mrs Dawson to escape the room and hide where the nurses can't find her.The story 'Letters' follows the one-sided correspondence of a woman who thinks she is married to the husband of another woman. The letters interest the real wife because they give brief reviews of movies, which the writer says her so-called husband should see. The real wife consults the letters before heading out to the movies.In 'A Winter Visit,' an old friend arrives unannounced, bringing her husband and two children. The friend discusses her suicide attempt, which obviously didn't succeed.'The Painter' is working inside a woman's house on a ladder. While she is outside dealing with a fallen tree, she hears sobbing from inside the house. The painter says his wife just called and wants a divorce.Biography:Upon retiring from teaching, author Frances Webb has traveled, continued writing, and also became interested in ceramics. She has eleven great-grandchildren. This is her sixth book.
