Thinking, Just Thinking Jack Carbee

Thinking, Just Thinking is the second collection of stories from the imagination of Jack Carbee. Unlike his first effort, Morning Wine and other Stories none of the seventeen stories has previously appeared in print. However, like the first collection an array of interesting characters are thrust into situations which bring about results ranging from tragic to humorous. And in the tradition of Chaucer, De Maupassant and O. Henry the tales are spiced with characters of depth, ironic twists and satire. The stories are told through the a variety of voices: from Barbie upon discovering a humiliating outfit she must agree to wear; to Rodin's famous statue The Thinker's observations from his vantage point in the gardens of the museum; to a chocoholic confronted with an international crisis which threatens to curtail supplies of cocoa beans. One of the stories The Last Mourner was written ten years ago but eerily parallels events of today.
