Carl Glickman, UGA professor emeritus of education, displays the full range of his creative work: parable, tragedy, humor, mystery, memoir and personal essay in his new book The Trembling Field: Stories of Wonder, Possibilities and Downright Craziness.
In this collection, clueless Northern college students desegregate schools in the rural South; a town attempts to come to terms with a revered community organizer’s pedophilic behavior; an old man copes with possible misunderstandings over what occurred with a promising female high school student; a child overcomes stuttering through the efforts of an unbending teacher; the mother superior of a Ukrainian convent is discovered to be the only child of a Holocaust survivor; and an African-American man returns to the Georgia farmhouse of his childhood to wrestle with the death of his sister.
