Recently graduated, a young man gets a job on a distant volcanic island. A retired horror film actor gives an interview about his career. In Brooklyn, a delivery man meets Groucho Marx in an elevator. Shanghaied in San Francisco, a man is marooned by his captors. These and other stories in my 9th collection reflect the comedy and tragedy of life. Set in various countries, dreams, the magic of the cinema, and the way life can confuse are re-occurring themes. Often things are not what they should be, even for the author!
