The Quiet Time

In the same vein as Paul Theroux and Robert Olen Butler, some of these stories take place in foreign countriesÂ—Zaire (Congo) and GreeceÂ—and center on interactions between a host nation and an American visitor. Others are set in the US in the modes of Alice Munro and Tobias Wolff, focusing on human relationships.
Each story reveals a main characterâ€™s moral center in the face of unexpected events, some of which seem trivial, others vital.
