In the Name of Suffering: A Collection of Short Story Essays that Evoke the Mournful Voice of Grief of the Coronavirus Era
About this ebook
Readers will be drawn into actual events as they really happened, experiencing the deep sadness - sympathy and empathy - as though the reader is present and witnessing the drama being described. The author’s writing may be fictional, or even poetic, but it touches the heart with details that are real, grounded, and truly from the human experience.
Pain and suffering experienced on a societal level, as well as a personal level, is complex, multi-layered, and deeply unsettling. Throughout the pandemic, we hear daily about those whose lives have been cut short by the coronavirus. Perhaps the victim was a friend, someone from our workplace or neighborhood, or perhaps a close family member.
