Light & Dark: A Short Story Collection

This unique collection of short stories explores many of the paradoxes of human nature and points out that no one is all good or all evil. Each story carries reflections of the light and shadow that exist within each one of us.

David Mokotoff is retired from a private practice in cardiology and this collection of story stories draws upon his medical background and touches upon aspects of his life and interests. David is author of The Moose’s Children: A Memoir of Betrayal, Death and Survival, plus many articles and blogs.

An intriguing mixture of archetypal nuisances in Light & Dark, as the concept plays out in everyday life. David Mokotoff weaves a provocative thread throughout his short story collection–both edgy and surreal. After reading the first story, you will want to read them all.
