Seeking the Future in the Past
Seeking escape from work fatigue and a loveless life, mid-fifties Alex sets out on an adventure to reconnect with three women of his past, telling his incredulous daughters he's satisfying curiosity, not on a quest to reignite romance. He locates and arranges a visit to the dispersed women. Each encounter with a former girlfriend is bittersweet, bringing back memories, and a recounting of why the relationship had failed. After momentary potential, he returns home alone, disappointed and lamenting 'what if.' With time to think, Alex realizes not all reconnections need to end with closure, and returns to build a future with one of the women.
James Hanley
James Hanley (1901-1985) was brought up in Liverpool and worked as a merchant seaman before becoming a professional writer. The first of his 24 novels, Drift, was published in 1930. In this wide-ranging study of Hanley's life and writings, John Fordham argues that, although Hanley's work is most commonly identified with proletarian realism, it should instead be thought of as a sustained engagement with modernism.
The Reason Why
Curious about the profile of a woman on a bench in lower Manhattan, Ed Blake approaches the vaguely familiar woman; that benign interest eventually leads to a consuming relationship that sends his life into a tailspin, damaging his marriage, family and career. The novel deals with the clandestine involvement, the reluctance to end despite attempts, and the attendant guilt, all without being detected and disrupting the lives of his unaware wife and daughter--at first. While pondering alternatives, tragedy makes the decision for him. Haunted by memories, Ed attempts normalcy in his family life but the affair comes to light. Pressed to explain the reason for the affair, Ed's failure to offer justification and fixable causes leads to strife, incrimination and separation. Ed turns to alcohol as consolation and loses his job. Only through the beginning of his family's forgiveness does he climb out of the self-created abyss.
Death of a Guitarist

Television Violence
If one culprit is suspected above all others for encouraging society to become more violent and unfeeling, it is television. This medium, which has become so pervasive in the last 50 years, seems to play an enormous role in the lives of the vast majority of people. But who controls the content which exerts such an enormous influence and to an extent controls the people? What are they doing now and what will they be doing tomorrow? Is violence essential to sell toothpaste and hamburgers? What are our children becoming and what will their children be like? Will every child carry a gun or other weapon just waiting for someone to trigger their violent nature and ignite their preprogrammed anger?
