"Trying to Be: A Collection by John Haskell is a collection of nine stories that are based on people from movies or actual life, filtered through the mind of a narrator who is trying to find a way to be. Mixing lyrical language and straightforward prose, these stories (which are also essays) attempt to shine some thought on the world we've been given, on the human body, on friendship, on history, on identify and family and love"-- Provided by publisher.
