“The human condition is, by far, the most mysterious thing in the universe. So much beauty and darkness, kindness and savagery, simplicity and complexity, strangeness and plain — and many of us still ponder about what it truly means to be human, or what it means to live or to be alive. The pandemic brought to the surface the problems or things we long repressed, and now, hopefully, through these stories, we can examine some of them and help us better understand the depths of life and our humanity. This is a short story collection concerned about life, death, depression, war, isolation, hope, victory, and love.
A Toddler Walks Into A Bar (and Other Stories) is the first published book by Von Zyron Alimorong, more widely known as V. V. Childwright.”
