The Difference Pete Lans

The twelve short stories in this anthology illustrate how pathos shapes our experiences and that we are mostly unaware of the direction of our journey through life.

A harmless foray into the theatre leads to love...

A man, mysteriously cursed, finds salvation in abject humiliation...

Another, continually thwarted, discovers the legacy of all his ardour...

A reckless young woman tests the boundaries of her privileged life...

Can a man, a sportscar and a nymph exist in the same story?...

Two cousins, worlds apart, discover that family comes first...

ASIO and the Department of Education misplace their files and save the nation...

An android reviews her journey amongst humans...

A scurrilous landlord creates his own doom when he tries to save the world...

Eternity is not something to look forward to...

And, can a man redeem himself by not saying a thing?
