Goose Summer

This collection of short stories by Colorado author Carol Samson is about finding a third space, a place of mind that offers time for thought and translation. The narrators in these stories consider "thing theory" and memory and artifacts, especially photographs, observing the way objects and words become metaphors for something else. The narrators listen as things and events "sound" themselves and restructure meanings. This is a collection that searches for correspondences and contemplates absence and explores Virginia Woolf''s idea that nothing is only one thing.
