Humanity Stew

Humanity Stew is a collection of short stories that lampoon human existence in our modern age. The seven stories are tied together through a humorous, yet substantive discussion between an elderly curmudgeon and his optimistic teenage granddaughter – a conversation that places these stories into a broader context of meaning.
