What Was Left Standing Book PDF Summary
We started the fires at dusk. The opening to the title story of this collection by Michael Jasper is a distillation of the mix of danger, disquiet, and determination that runs through all sixteen stories. Whether it’s the return of a prodigal son to the family farm ("The Chicken Project"), the young high school teacher conscripted into refereeing a basketball game with his new school’s rivals from the nearby reservation ("Home Court Advantage"), or the impossible feats of a team of mixed-race baseball players long before the days of Jackie Robinson ("The Champ Escapes"), Jasper takes you on a guided tour of the human condition. This includes the dark sides as well as the bright. Sometimes even reality is warped, as it is in the near-future tales about the power of words ("The Death Sentence") and the violent outcomes of over-crowded cities ("The Deck"). Quite often, the people in Jasper’s stories are overwhelmed and at the end of their ropes, like the protagonists of the four final, loosely connected stories in the collection. But like Chris Simpson, the narrator of the title story, they all try to hold onto hope in spite of the odds with all of their hearts. By the end of each story, it’s possible that your own heart will be transformed as well.
