Why We Fight ---
Why We Need Love---
Why Our Decisions Don’t Matter Series Editor Simon VanBooy
Short story author Simon Van Booy has assembled three collections of excerpts and art that address the questions posed by the title of each of these books. Each book is an eloquent, thoughtful assemblage of passages, quotations, poems and artwork illustrating our need for love, why we fight and why the everyday decisions we make in our life don’t genuinely affect the overall outcomes of our lives. VanBooy’s thoughtful selections include passages from the Bible, Greek playwrights and philosophers, modern day philosophers, Shakespeare, poets, novelists throughout the centuries and some interesting selections from 20th century non-fiction authors. The entries are not arranged chronologically by the written date and each entry is introduced by a brief, thoughtful commentary from VanBooy. The elegant writing that is a signature of VanBooy’s short stories is effective here as well.
