The American Dress


Book Description

The twenty-six short stories in the American-Dress book collection explore war, conflict, romance, ethnic cultures and social situations. Most rose spontaneously to consciousness and were written in a few hours for my own enjoyment. I hope the same for readers. The decision to share them wasn't easily made, for their variety provides no common theme to commend them. As I spent more serious time on one story in the collection: "The American Dress," eventually making it a novella, the name for the collection became more obvious to me. Moreover, my brother Bernard, served in Saigon during this period. A nephew, who also served during an earlier period, provided the interview which helped me understand more of that culture.
