Brief Lives: Fictions

By Keith Hazzard

Plenitude by compression: emotional density meets prose drive.

In Brief Lives, psychological complexities are portrayed through a compassionate lens. These stories explore self-devouring hungers, dry rots of soul, and displacements that crack people open. Some leap across time and place; others deepen around a single incident. Hazzard's distillations portray psychological complexities through a lens as compassionate as it is surprising.

From morticians to migrants, each brief life reveals the human condition with intimacy and emotional depth. For readers of literary fiction and short stories who appreciate character-driven narratives and existential themes.
