Take an eclectic journey through short stories culled from three decades of exploring a universe of people, of life's anomalies, of snippets from the practice of law, with the dark overtones of growing up in Brooklyn, New York during a time of cultural upheaval at the end of the War. Explore the writer's dreams, from murder to a haunted golf course in Mexico. Brooklyn in the 40s and 50s was peopled with crime bosses, card sharks, professional gamblers and those with a panoply of obsessions. End on the dead-end street of noir, where people you do not want to meet will share their darkness with you. A dissection of the mundane and of the bizarre awaits.…mehr

Autorenporträt
Stephen M. Honig is a practicing corporate attorney in Boston, Massachusetts. He is a Board Member of the New England Poetry Club, hosts poetry readings on behalf of the Club, is himself a reader of his poetry in various venues, and has often been published in Ibbetson Street (the poetry magazine of Ibbetson Press based in Somerville, Massachusetts). He has published six collections of poetry: "Messing Around with Words", "Rail Head", "Obligatory COVID Chapbook", "Laertes in America - Collected Poetry 2018-2020", "Burn-Out" and "Parallel Universes". Also published are a collection of short stories: "Noir Ain't the Half of It", and an adventure novel: "The Event". The author claims his affair with poetry began with his mother, a farm girl who ran away to find life in the Big City but who held to her spunk and to her allegiance to Nineteenth Century American literature.A graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, Mr. Honig lives with his wife, Laura Unflat, in Newton, Massachusetts. Among his four children and two grandchildren, only one shows a poetic avocation, although all six have poetic dispositions.Aged 82 at date of this publication, the author hopes to survive long enough to fill more books with poetry; he believes that his remaining years may be sufficient as only the good die young..
