How does life make one feel out of place? An attempted answer can be written in an arrangement of letters. This story takes the reader on a journey of fascination, love and excitement. However, despite the sense of feel-good, there is also a very serious message. The poems, and short stories, have messages of joy, sorrow as well as political. The whole piece is a stirring reflection.

Carol Piccone wasn't like the other philosophy students. She asked hard questions and seemed far ahead of the class. She was smart and beautiful and knew about Kant and Kierkegaard-she'd even read Hegel. To the young philosophy professor Mack Davies, Carol offered a chance to move beyond words and abstractions into a world of risk and action. Before long they were having sex behind his locked office door while other students waited outside. Mack's specialty was analyzing complicated moral issues, but when Carol revealed her plan to murder her husband, his choices became surprisingly and frighteningly clear. THE WOMAN WHO HATED PHILOSOPHERS takes the reader on a wild ride into the minds of two of the most troubling and unforgettable characters in today's fiction.
