Bag om The Short Stories of Linda Leven Volume 3
This is a book of two super-dramatic, short novellas inspired by true events-profound, philosophical, iconoclastic, and dark. The tales touch on the broad themes of workplace relationships, psychiatry, and issues of life and death. The first story follows Jane, a self-assured, brilliant woman who spurns and attempts to defy accepted workplace maxims on dating relationships at work. Julian, in the second tale, finds himself engaged in a battle for his life and sanity with an implacable, ruthless enemy: "You can never exile or expunge me ... because I am the immutable evil of life." Leven is undoubtedly an iconoclast and image-breaker. Each tale relentlessly blasts away and shatters many of the commonly accepted truisms and stale platitudes by which we live. Readers will be unable to flee her challenge to many sacred principles and doctrines and will be completely immersed in meticulously depicted and stupefying events which, in these two novellas, will reshape, temper, and turn upside down their mindset regarding workplace relationships, psychiatry, and issues of mortality and religion.
