Description
The Insolent Caretaker celebrates the universal resilience of human nature
Author James Porteous has released a collection of short stories inspired by the work of American writer Studs Terkel and playwright David Mamet.
The stories touch on age-old themes of love, politics, religion, relationships, and humor while highlighting the struggles and triumphs of everyday people searching for meaning in this 'new normal' world.
In this collection, we meet a talented ‘Butchering the Pig' scam artist, a young woman’s encounter with Italy’s Nigerian Mafia, a sniper's interview in a heavenly way-station, and the man in Japan who wonders if he will finally talk to his late wife on The Wind Phone, among many others.
The author, who has lived and worked in Canada, the US, Italy, Germany, the UK, and Qatar, has always strived to capture the ‘lives of others’ in his songs, writing, and photographs.
