Abstract

From Revolutionary France to the frontiers of a fresh-born America, from the Dust Bowl of Oklahoma to the swamps of Poland, The Dust and Other Stories is a collection of short stories that seeks to explore humanity, horror, and history alike. By examining various events of the past, this collection sheds light on the shortcomings we still face today, such as, among other things, the normalization of or outright ignorance towards past American atrocities like those committed in Vietnam; the sheer lengths some people find themselves going to survive poverty, and the blind mania of war and its effect on those (quite literally) in the trenches.
