Reflecting experiences gained while teaching in England, Italy,
Korea, and Turkey, author Katherine Baccaro presents an eclectic
collection of twenty-four short stories. The tales delve into one
family's dysfunction, the difficulties of dating in Manhattan, and
the mysteries of love.
"Discombobulated" explores a variety of everyday themes and
pulls on human emotions. In "Borborygmus," the prim and proper
thirty-seven- year-old Dermot McGreevy feels humiliated when he
develops an embarrassing ailment. In "The Department of Nosology,"
two thirteen-year- old girls suffer the consequences after they
begin cataloging the noses of the townspeople. "The Census"
explores the feelings of tourists in Turkey as they learn they will
be banished to their hotel room for a day while the country
conducts its census.
From the comic to the sad, from real life to imagined
landscapes, and from nostalgia and memories to suppositions and
lies, "Discombobulated" offers a diverse collection of stories
offering insight into the human condition.
