Читать книгу Of Man and Animals - Thomas R. Hauff - Страница 6

I had two goals for these stories which stemmed from two beliefs. First, I believe that sometimes we miss things. We go through life doing what we do, and we miss what is happening around us and what we, ourselves, are doing. I wanted to capture that background truth in these stories. Second, I think a lot of important things happen within our daily routines. I like to describe each minute of our lives as a new “decision making moment.” Usually the most interesting and challenging moments occur in commonplace settings. For that reason, these stories are pictures of regular life. I hope they help people think.

If I may, I have some advice: Read these stories for pleasure; Take your time; Use your imagination; Savor the words and thoughts. I know that when I read short stories they are most enjoyable when I don’t just plow through them. Read and ponder. Maybe something interesting will find you in these vignettes.
