Sinopsis

In "Bashan and I," Thomas Mann presents a reflective and richly layered narrative that navigates the themes of identity, loss, and the search for meaning in a post-war society. Written in a lyrical style characteristic of Mann's oeuvre, the novella is infused with autobiographical elements, drawing heavily on the author's own experiences and observations of European culture. The text weaves the personal with the philosophical, as Mann explores the evolution of self against a backdrop of historical upheaval, making it a poignant commentary on the complexities of modern life. Thomas Mann, one of the 20th century's most significant literary figures, grapples with the existential dilemmas of his time through this work. Born into a German bourgeois family and an early observer of the tensions that would culminate in two World Wars, Mann's deep literary and philosophical inclinations manifest vividly in this novella. His mature reflections on life's dislocations and the impact of societal change reveal a profound understanding of human nature, shaped by his own socio-political reflections. "Bashan and I" is a recommended read for those seeking not only a compelling narrative but also a deep philosophical inquiry into the human condition.

My Only Defense

Leigh Lennon

Garrison: Love sucks! There I said it. I've never looked for it, nor do I want it. All it seems to do is cause open wounds. I already suffer from the guilt of a horrific accident. I won't let love suck me down the rabbit hole. But Murphy's Law is a diva out to destroy my life. Someone sees me for more than just a one and done and though I've pushed men away for years, he's refreshing. But remember that diva I told you about, she's sort of a b**** too. Yeah, love more than sucks but since I can't use the words I want, I'll just stick to that because the man I want has a connection with me, no one knows about. 
 
 
 
Lawson: I met a man. Sure he's a little detached and cynical. Though, try telling my heart he's all wrong for me. I've been over it with this particular traitorous part of my body. And, I do the one thing I never do with my hook-ups. I give him a way to reach me. But it's more—I almost beg him to call me after my next deployment. Oh, yeah, forgot to mention, I'm in the military and am shipping out. I want him to be my welcoming party, when I come home, yet, when I unravel every complicated part of Garrison Fisher, I find more and more I should run from. But I can't. He's broken, but after my time in the military, I'm broken too. Can we fix one another and heal the wounds that may very well tear us apart?

Stories From The Shadows –...

Leo Tolstoy, Guy de Maupassant,...

An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories.  
But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.
