Abstract

How You Could Be Different is a collection of stories about humans struggling to act, to know what the right thing is to do. Like the people in these stories, sometimes we want things to be better so badly that so much that it stunts us, weights us down, paralyzes us, and then sometimes we can move past this paralysis and transcend our emotional frailties into movement, and action. What all of these characters or narratives in the following pages have in common—whether they are trying to avoid extramarital attraction as in the anonymous narrator does in the opening piece, Correction; or are struggling to right past wrongs as Josie does in The Angriest Good Person or Reg does in Down Under; or to escape the limitations of the hand they were dealt as the narrator tries to do in The Hollow; or simply grappling with the anxiety and collateral damages of being a privileged person as Philip does in In Sickness –what they all have in common is that they all want to be good; want to do better than they have thus far. They, like all of us, I believe, want to know: How You Could be Different.
