Blue is the second volume of short stories by multi-genre author, Wodke Hawkinson. Blue contains three novelettes, which in and of themselves make the book a must-read. In addition, Blue features 15 shorter works that run the gamut from bawdy humor in "The Erotic Adventures of Dick Speed" to the contemplative surrealism of "Death Hates His Job". Using a variety of subjects, each peopled with unique and memorable characters, Blue escorts the reader through different and compelling stories. In "Back to the Past" a young man recalls meeting his bride years earlier when they were children. "The Deconstruction of Dennis" is a tragedy that illustrates the lonely sorrow of mental illness in a non-supportive family. The title piece, "Blue", tells the harrowing tale of a little girl who is thrust into the custody of her father's unsavory family upon the death of her mother.
Page after page, each story will draw you in to the characters, feeling every emotion whether it is the grief and pain of G, Dennis or Blue or the arrogance of Dick Speed.
