Gently Now

EXPANDED SECOND EDITION WITH THREE NEW STORIES. Gently Now is a collection of stories about people living in the margins — an immigrant girl who escapes persecution through her love of Rod Stewart, a woman who seeks validation and glory through her ice cream route, a man preoccupied with gender-based elevator etiquette. Gently Now takes a compassionate look at fictitious characters reveling in the absurdity of daily life. These are the stories of the reality behind the practiced exteriors of average people, what one would see if they were to take a closer look at all that is unusual and fantastic about human intricacies.
