Author: Fincke, Gary
Condition: New
In these essays, Gary Fincke combines a journalists relentless investigations into the darkest corners of the human condition with an academics love for arcana. In one essay, almost forgotten homeopathic recipes from the pantries of Pennsylvania Dutch country are interwoven with the panicked absurdities of elementary school health classes in the 1960s. In another, old case files of small town murders intertwine with meditations on all the fears, large and small, that accompany parenting. In The Darkness Call, Fincke plumbs the depths-child abuse, violence, illness, grief-not for their sadness but for moments of courage, hope, empathy, and light.
