Well-crafted, beautiful; a rich experience…
Cary’s latest, a collection of short stories, offers profound glimpses into the idiosyncrasies and obstacles of daily existence. “Obsession” follows a man consumed by his fear of balding, as he spirals down a desperate path to maintain his hairline. In “Entrepreneur,” an eternally optimistic and entrepreneurial spirit repeatedly dives into doomed business ventures. “The Job” reveals the double life of a hitman masquerading as a meat salesman. The charming waitress in “Rosie” finds solace in her routine and the snippets of conversations she overhears. “Observations” explores how different perceptions and experiences shape our understanding of shared spaces and interactions. “My Word” revolves around a bereavement counselor’s commitment to fulfilling his client’s final wishes after his sudden passing. “Perception” humorously exposes the misconceptions and peculiarities in human relationships. Cary’s conversational and character-driven approach creates a lively and engaging narrative that keeps the reader invested. The accompanying black-and-white photographs beautifully compliment the narrative. Throughout it all, Cary delves into themes of perception, identity, resilience, and the complexities of interpersonal relationships. A stunner.
