Gatherings and Scatterings: Memoirs, Tributes, and Cautionary Tales

By Benj Mahle

The aim of a writer ought not be to have a reader feel the writer's pain (or joy, or sadness, or hope) but rather his own. This collection of essays and portraits--some of family, some of friends, some of complete strangers--guides readers into a deeper appreciation of their own human condition. It's a book that doesn't preach, but soft peddles examination of our interior lives through humor, optimism, poignancy, and love.
