C. P. Cashel

Some of these beautiful stories are rooted in memory; others are wholly imagined. From a boyhood hunt gone wrong to frogs debating religion, from disease and medicine to the possible witnessing of a murder, they are, by turns, warm, ridiculous, shocking, philosophical, troubling, very funny, and deeply moving. Their themes range widely-from childhood, loss of innocence, and the author's struggles with faith to genetics, fanaticism, and death.
These are stories that stay with the reader.
