Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 196 pages ; 24 cm ISBN 9780964947214, 0964947218 OCLC 34951590 LCCN 95083034 LC PS3553.O5464 T35 1996 ; SIGNED by author on the half-title ; black cloth with silver lettering in pictorial dustjacket; Over the next year and a half, it became apparent that Dad was suffering from something greater than the loss of my Mom. What was probably Alzheimer's led to his death in 1997. As my father's illness became evident, I realized that my life and career were going to be disrupted by caregiving. I had to come up with something to do in order that the management of my father's decline and affairs would not be a total setback.The something I came up with was Tales From Old Bethesda, a volume of 12 short stories. Tales was a unique work of Washington fiction in that its characters were not politicians or spies, but the "ordinary" prep-educated genii that only occur in places such as Bethesda. It was also an attempt at Catholic fiction with its themes of the healing power of love and of the propagation of waste and loss through years and lives, especially in the commission of little acts of evil that people tend to dismiss as "part of life." ; Contents: His project -- Jimmy leaves his work -- Left me a cripple -- Down a peg -- Mad Mary Aluin -- It can't be Carol -- A loving thing to do -- Persona non grrata -- Flat on my face -- A new kind of story -- The gravy train -- Brave soldier ; FINE/FINE.
