A father struggling to reconnect with his estranged son. A fading writer dealing with the sudden success of his younger pianist wife. A Jewish man who pulls away from his group on a guided tour of Vienna. These are just a few of the characters you'll find within the pages of Termites: Their Deeper Meaning -each inspired by a hundred real and imagined people from the life of family doctor L. J. Schneiderman. Far from your ordinary "doctor book," Termites blends reality and imagination to explore a variety of complex stories and life issues. The result is a collection of literary fiction that is always moving, often thought provoking, and laced with more than a pinch of dark humor. In the vein of Anton Chekhov or Richard Selzer, Schneiderman draws upon years of experience listening to and watching the lives of patients, friends, and strangers, which he then weaves together, extending these observations with the help of his imagination. The resulting stories provide a deep and compulsively readable glimpse into fascinating characters and events-one that will appeal to adult readers and lovers of short stories everywhere.
