About the Book
Title: Traveling Left of Center and Other Stories
Author: Nancy Christie
Genre: Literary Fiction / Short Story Collection
There are some people who,
whether by accident or design, find themselves traveling left of center. Unable
or unwilling to seize control over their lives, they allow fate to dictate the
path they take—often with disastrous results.
TRAVELING LEFT OF CENTER AND
OTHER STORIES details characters in life situations for which they are
emotionally or mentally unprepared. Their methods of coping range from the
passive (“The Healer”) and the aggressive (“The Clock”) to the humorous
(“Traveling Left of Center”) and hopeful (“Skating on Thin Ice”).
The eighteen stories in
TRAVELING LEFT OF CENTER AND OTHER STORIES depict those types of situations,
from the close calls to the disastrous. Not all the stories have happy
endings—like life, sometimes things work out and sometimes they don’t.
In these stories, the
characters’ choices—or non-choices—are their own. But the outcomes may not be
what they anticipated or desired.
Will they have time to
correct their course or will they crash?
