Abstract
And Other Stories follows four characters as they discover, relinquish, evolve, and deteriorate within the jobs that they occupy. Dominic Ruggers and Koji Itō find themselves in a forced choosing of career as they attempt to find footing in worlds that have constraints beyond their power. Roger Duckney’s story—a reaction to contemporary politics—depicts an unwitting man who finds the best in his otherwise disturbing involuntary post. Meanwhile, Marv Morgan displays his commitment to his wife and profession by spending one of his final living days in selfless duty. All four characters, despite their circumstances, unearth deeper meaning in their pursuits at the conclusion of their spent days.
