Visiting Hours: Ten Short Stories

By Daniel Lieff

Visiting Hours, a collection of short fiction, introduces characters carving their existences within a world defined by others. A soldier and a mysterious woman are left behind to cover a battalion's retreat in "Two Comrades," their fate tied to bloodlines older than the ruins they guard. A group of Israeli soldiers guards themselves in a prison in the West Bank, in "Visiting Hours." An IRA tough guy falls in love with the wife of his boss, and writes about it in the "Republican Writer." In "The Incubator," an American Kibbutznik digs for the past in the caves near his kibbutz looking for proof of Christianity. In "Memory-Loss Menendez," a sergeant loses her memory after a bad parachute jump and finds herself in the 82d Airborne Division, sought after by a multitude of men, none of which she can trust or remember, except one.
