Notes: Award-winning and new authors have contributed to this anthology of short fiction and are donating the net proceeds to Doctors without Borders and Jubilee USA. Themes range from romance with a ghost, to a modern Grapes-of-Wrath family quest, to lawlessness on a remote island paradise, to surfing the "Outernet" of the collective unconscious, to wisdom that carries an immigrant cleaning woman through hardship. Living Fiction seeks to stimulate a literary dialogue and invites readers to join in and converse with the 19 authors, mostly Ivy League alumni, whose email addresses are in the book.
