Short fiction. The fictional territory of ANOTHER LIFE, this disquieting first collection of stories, is a state of emergency, and for Weihe the emergency is always the same: it is the terrifying possibility that one will be caught, in any instant -- as a nocturnal jogger might be caught in the blinding headlights of an oncoming car -- without a fully realized life, a life of passion and love, above all. Edwin Weihe directs the Creative Writing Program at Seattle University.
