Do writers compose the stories that speak to us-or do the stories actually compose us?
Renowned historian and author Thomas E. Chávez explores such questions in this collection. These eight stories are set in different eras yet interlocked in the mind of the storyteller. Between tales, this storyteller holds ethereal and philosophical conversations with his own Fate, seeking to understand how our stories live on.
Part historical exploration, part contemplation, and wholly human, A Soliloquy of Some Disconnected Tales whisks us from medieval Europe to twentieth-century New Mexico. These stories invite us along the way into the enduring lives of people not all that unlike ourselves.
