Professors and Other Misfits
It is generally believed that university professors lead highly intellectual, dull lives. Without denying that, Professors And Other Misfits looks at another side of faculty existence: A newly appointed distinguished scientist uses his influence to hire a young brilliant African-American, who soon finds himself involved with a student ... Another catches a young man cheating on an exam, and sets in motion a series of events that lead to an attempted murder and an unexpected death ... A fastidious professor is shackled by his obsessive punctuality until an obese, unattractive female student leads him to unveil a devastating memory within himself ... How can a devoted scientist erase from his mind an inexplicable event that everyone witnessed, but no one else believes? ... A priest commits an unpardonable sin ... A retiree's isolation moves him into a new world with which he cannot cope.
Just Passing Through
Just Passing Through explores the many ways people face lifes troubles. Though scientific ideas have forced their way into some of these stories, the focus is on the characters lives: A loving mother dictates her sons life as a despot a priest discovers he has sinned two recent widowers find their mutual attraction disturbing a watchmaker learns the exact date of his death a man sees the world collapsing and cannot decide if he is hallucinating or losing his mind; perhaps he can reverse the collapse beings from a distant planet plan to settle on earth. Several stories are nonfictional, personal memoirs.
