In
Signs of Life, Norman Waksler deftly weaves stories of change both brutal
and subtle, encounters both urban and urbane. Covering life from the first childhood
pangs of love and unfairness to the moral conundrums of midlife, the stories
in this collection delicately reveal the intersection of sepia-toned nostalgia
and full-color truth. The reader is plunged into ordinary lives punctuated by
extraordinary events, seeing how, as Waksler writes, “…even the
most satisfactory life [can] be broken apart and rearranged by a single bit of
wayward information.”
