Synopsis

A Different Time of Day is a collection of 12 creative, non-fiction stories that take place in New Hampshire and Massachusetts during the early 1990’s.

The subjects vary from snapshots of everyday life, to enterprising trials and quixotic quandaries, to more salient, sober reflections - all are told with keen observation, wit, and the good humor of a native New Yorker turned countryman.

Immersive and insightful, the stories include a lighthearted foray into the coffee aisles at Lechmere’s; a personal, moving narrative to see New England’s movement disorder specialist; an illuminating account involving a stranded tractor in the backyard (and an ordeal with a stray telephone pole in the front); an introspective search for a radio at the mall; an existential crisis caused by a cryptic coffee cup at Burger King #3326; together the pieces capture a wide range of moments and characters, giving an honest view of the more trying - and amusing - experiences over a half-decade.
