Contradictions

These 30 short stories and psychograms (see Preface) arise not merely out of the imagination but comprise a continuing summary of many of the author's life experiences and impressions begun in his Psychograms of Sickness and Death: A Partial Autobiography (2002). The vehicle is largely satire. To the extent that primarily feelings are emphasized throughout, this book is thoroughly modern. It is hoped the book will evoke thought, teach some facts, arouse understanding and compassion, titillate here and there, and amuse even to the point of occasional outright laughter.
