What to read after Existence and Other Stories?

Here is proof that contemporary literary fiction can be one hell of an engrossing read. At first glance these 10 stories appear diverse. Look closer, and what emerges is a fascinating exploration of alienation, meaning, and love. This is hard hitting and honest writing, distinguished by a shining blend of pathos and humor. And no matter how broken or deplorable Wahl's characters may appear, compassion is never far away. A fearless examination of human character, there are no simple answers to be found in these tales. If exceptional fiction gives us cause to think and feel deeply, this collection is the real thing. Bill Wahl is a practicing psychologist with 20 years of experience providing therapy to people with mental health difficulties in the USA and UK. He is also a stand-up comedian and the author of a novel, The Art of Impossibility.
