Author

Abstract

Good People: A Collection of Short Stories and Essays explores the theme of abuse of power. While violence is a prevalent concern in these stories, the author is more interested in examining the ways in which power can be abused by individuals, institutions and even the state. Central to this exploration is the question of our duty to one another and how far we may go in pursuit of personal desires while disregarding this duty.
