Nine tales from Affinities

This book holds nine tales from Le Maison des Vagabonds in Paris, a collection of stories composed as letters, confessions, and testimony seeking connection. As the Afterword explains, the stories are written to explore a particular form of fiction: the impelled monologue. The book is thus both a work of literature, and a demonstration of a way of writing stories sourced in the indelible memory of the writer, with assistance from the habits of intensity of the tellers who voice their improvisational discoveries for you.
