The Principle of Interchange and Other Stories

This is the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Edition of P. V. LeForge's first collection of stories. Choirboys await the return of a Mexican bandit to their church--despite the fact that he has been dead for 100 years. A two-bit comedian is inhabited by the soul of his agent--who he has just murdered. A dying man receives a visit from a grandson he has never seen. An obsessed police inspector rents the apartment of a young woman who has committed the most terrible of crimes. An old drunk in Alaska invents a super alter-ego to battle the bigotry and unfeeling he sees around him. These and other characters and situations come vibrantly alive in this finely wrought collection from a talented writer and storyteller. In locales as diverse as Florida, Alaska, Panama, Mexico, India, and China, P.V. LeForge paints a picture of life that is both rich and unique.
