The collection of short stories "Pretend You Are Happy" offers its
readers a rich cast of characters, a sense of people who found
themselves in a landscape of human mega-hive too large for comfort,
and those with a determination for life, love and happiness.
Set in years of frequent immigration when people found their
lives turned upside down, the stories confront both the social
complications of contemporary American life and the intensely
personal struggle of people who find themselves in a strange and
confusing environment and survive in their new society.
With the author's strong inclination to dramatic and unexpected
conclusions, lyrical tragedies and sad optimism decorate all the
stories of "Pretend You Are Happy." These tales are warm and
enriching stories of losses and recoveries, which cannot leave
readers indifferent.
