Life-Arc Teaching Tales

Zeugner, John

Omschrijving

The stories, tales, and memories of Life-Arc Teaching Tales deal with the instructiveness of teaching, as well as the hammered, ironic learning of getting through any lifetime. ""First come the inverted parables: a live deer is embalmed in white paint by kids who can't believe he's real; a surfer becomes a ghost rider in the curl of a wave; a widow's son is underwhelmed by success when he wears the vest she gave him inside out. The darkly comical stories that follow culminate in Zeugner's account of his own memory-riddled heart attack. The collection is a virtuoso performance to be savored over multiple readings."" --Chandler Thompson, Translator of novels by Hector Aguilar Camin John Zeugner, Emeritus Professor of History at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), lectured in Japan for over five years--experiences used in his prize-winning collection of short stories, Under Hiroshima (2014) and his novel, Soldier for Christ (2013). He advised undergraduate social/technological projects at WPI's overseas centers in London, Bangkok, Hong Kong, San Juan, Copenhagen, and particularly Venice, which figures in his compilation of three short novels, Food for Jackals (2014).
