About this listen

Theodore Jerome Cohen's first serious attempt to write a short story for publication was in 1962 while he was working in Antarctica. The story he penned--about a man killed by a pod of orcas--was lost during his return to the United States. It wasn't until 2009, when he resurrected the tale and incorporated it in his post-modern novel, Frozen in Time: Murder at the Bottom of the World, that the horror of the episode, which was based on a real encounter by three Chilean Army enlisted men with a pod of orcas, appeared in print. Time did not dim the horror of what happened at sea that day. Now this story and others--unusual stories about Ted's life as a violinist, about a woman who seeks the help of a fortune teller to divine the future of her daughter, and about a university professor obsessed with the making of coffee--are vividly brought to life in the eleven short stories found in this book.

I always hesitate to listen to collections of short stories because they always leave me wanting more. Maybe that's the point of the short story, I don't know. I really liked some of the stories in here: "Write What You Know," "Requiem for Solly," "Unforgiven," "One Man's Journey Home," but a few of the stories left me hanging or just ended anticlimatically: "Encounter on All Hallows' Eve" and "On Making Coffee and Other Scientific Endeavors." Narration was done well.



I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
