Overview

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.

Author Information

Stephen M. Honig is an author and attorney. His chronology is deceptively predictable, growing up just before the Boomer generation in ethnic Brooklyn, New York, trodding through two intense Ivy League experiences at Columbia and Harvard, practicing for decades as a corporate attorney in Boston, experiencing the suburban life, the urban life, the requisite divorce, and four children who have their own success stories. He is a skillful observer of time and place unique in America, has more than a passing familiarity with the underworld, an ear and eye for the ethnic fabric of cities, and has traveled around the globe including two unusual trips to Russia, once on a mission and once as a professor. There were a lot of card games along the way, a few racing horses, the usual traumas with women and with life, some experiences in law that do not fit any mold, and an abiding passion to convey the texture of normality and of the sicknesses of the human condition. Stephen has published three volumes of poetry: Messing Around with Words, Rail Head and Obligatory COVID Chapbook. This is his first prose publication. He resides in Newton, MA with his wife, youngest son and recalcitrant dog, occupying a household wherein he holds the fourth spot in the hierarchy.
